Hi Friends! I hope all of you are having a great week so far! I had a chance to play around in my stamping studio and decided to create another spring card using the new Our Daily Bread Designs March 2017 Release stamp set Tulips along with the ODBD Tulip Die and previously released ODBD Dies. I incorporated the Hand Stamped Sentiments HSS258 Color Challenge along with the Happy Little Stampers March CAS “Die Cuts” Challenge, the Splitcoaststampers SC634 Sketch Challenge and The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge. If you have not had a chance to visit the ODBD Blog yet or the other challenge sites yet, I would encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from all! To create this card: 1). Trim a piece of taupe cardstock, score the horizontal lines near the bottom (per the sketch), mount onto a piece of mint cardstock, trim and mount onto the white card base. 2). Ink the sentiment from ODBD Tulips stamp set with archival black ink and stamp onto a piece of white cardstock. Heat set the ink before die cutting and embossing the panel with the ODBD Pierced Rectangles Dies. Mount onto a piece of mint cardstock, trim close to the edge and adhere directly to the card front. 3). Die cut and emboss a piece of sugarplum cardstock with the ODBD Small Bow Dies and mount onto the front of the card. 4). Ink the ODBD Tulips image with archival black ink, stamp onto white cardstock, heat set with a heat tool and die cut with the ODBD Tulip Die. Watercolor the image with sugarplum, mint and taupe water based markers and add shimmer to the petals with a clear glitter pen. 5). Mount the die cut floral image onto the card front with dimensional foam to finish off the card. Thanks again for taking the time to stop by and visit- hugs and I hope I have inspired you to create something this weekend! Tulips Tulip Die Pierced Rectangles Dies Small Bow Dies
