Tranquil Tulips Cards with Bobbi and Cathy

Hi Sunny friends! It’s Bobbi sharing a card using the new Tranquil Tulips stamps and dies. These layered beauties are so pretty in any color. I’m using shades of oranges for my bouquet today. I arranged them in a rusty watering can using the Watering Can stamps and dies.

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I stamped the tulips, stems and leaves following the layered numbers provided on the stamp set sheet. I also stamped the watering can in Ranger Distress Oxide Ink in Lost Shadow and colored it using Copic Sketch Markers in YR27, YR24, E55, E53, E50, and E40. I also used a few cool grays to shade some of the Lost Shadow inked lines. The YRs create the rusty spots! I cut the blossoms, leaves, and stems as well as the watering can using the coordinating dies.

For the card base, I attached a grey and white paper from our Subtle Grey Tones pattern paper pack for the background and two 1/8″ strips of orange and peach to the bottom of the 6″ long pattern, leaving 1″ strip of white at the bottom of the panel. I stamped the "thinking of you" sentiment from the Watering Can set in the white space. I arranged the tulips in the watering can and added a hemp twine bow to the can’s handle to finish the card.

Hey friends! Cathy here today and Spring has sprung in my neck of the woods. I couldn’t be happier about the warmer weather! The tulips are blooming and inspired me on this card today featuring the beautiful Tranquil Tulips Stamps.

 

This is an A2 size card and I began with the lace borders on the left side of the card front. First, I inked a 1” x 7” piece of white cardstock with Lost Shadow Distress ink and placed a doily lace die from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies face down along one edge. I then placed the straight stitched die from the same dies face down right next to the lace die, taped them in place and die-cut the cardstock. I cut a piece of black cardstock 3/4" x 7” and die-cut one edge with a small scallop border die from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I adhered the gray piece centered on the black piece and adhered them to the card front. I then trimmed the excess from the top and bottom edges.

To add a little more gray and extra interest, I adhered gray diamonds to a portion of the card front. I first inked a piece of white cardstock with Lost Shadow Distress ink and die-cut it using the lattice portion of the Frilly Frames Lattice Die. I placed the lattice frame on the card front as a guide and adhered the die-cut diamonds in the pattern shown.

 

Next, I stamped the Tranquil Tulips Stamps on white cardstock and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I adhered them to the card front and trimmed the excess along the bottom edge of the card.

 

To finish, I stamped the “Thanks” sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings Stamps in Versamark ink on black cardstock, heat embossed it in white and die-cut it using the coordinating dies.
