Tulips are a sure sign of Spring! Today I created a card with pretty tulips using Susan's Garden Notes Parrot Tulip die set from Spellbinders.
This is a 6x6 inch card. The background paper is from the Stamperia Lilac Flowers Pad. It was scored around the edges with a Score Board, 1/8" from all edges.
In the center I attached a Spellbinders Elegant Twist Circle with foam squares. In the center of it is an oval from the Spellbinders Floral Oval die set that I believe is discontinued.
For all flowers die cut with Susan's Garden dies, I always use her Spellbinder's Specialty White Cardstock. It is the perfect weight for shaping the flowers and colors beautifully. I also use her Spellbinders Flower Tool Kit for shaping. The glue I use is the Bearly Art Craft Glue. I usually use Distress Inks to color the flowers and leaves and like doing this using the Waffle Flower Crafts Mini Water Media Mat and Picket Fence Brushes.
Susan's Foliage and Ladybug die set was used for the foliage behind the tulips. The ladybug was die cut from this set. She was colored with a red Copic Marker and details added with a fine line black pen. Clear Crystal Glaze was added.
Nine tulips were die cut using the Parrot Tulip die set. Around the tips of the white and purple tulips, I cut small slits around the edges, using the fine tip scissors in the tool kit. The solid tulips were not fringed that way.
One of the quotes from Susan's Spring Quotes stamp set was stamped on a piece of white cardstock and trimmed. Lavender ink was sponged around the edges. It was added at the base of the flowers with dimensional tape.
A butterfly from 49 and Market - Vintage Artistry Wedgewood embellishment sheet was added plus a few lavender rhinestones.
