Timeless tulips revisited at Belair Creative Cards



This card came about as a variation of the card that we made at Belair Creative Cards in February. My card was CASED from Peggy Noe, fellow demonstrator. You can see her card here

The base card is blueberry bushel, with a layer of granny apple green.  The tulips stamped on whisper white using daffodil delight, then sponged the bottom of the tulip stamp with calypso coral.  Using the stamparatus, this technique is quick and easy.  The colours were then blended together with wink of stella.  Leaves and stems were stamped in granny apple green.  The background splatter was created using an aqua painter dipped into the lid of the basic gray stamp pad which had been pressed against the pad.  Squeeze the water through the aqua painter to get the water flowing then flick the barrel of the painter. Sentiment is stamped in blueberry bushel and layered on a strip of blueberry bushel.

Geared up garage meets family party

One of my nephews had a significant birthday so I decided to make him a card using Geared Up Garage.  The first three cards have the same elements, using different colours and the 3rd, different orientation.



My first card below is on a base of crumb cake with a layer of  Golden Honey Specialty DSP.  The sentiment is from Family Party stamp set stamped on crumb cake using memento ink using the stamparatus and then reinking with versamark then applying clear embossing powder and heat set.  The car is stamped on basic black and embossed in gold.



My second card has a base of whisper white, dsp layer is Country Club dsp.  Sentiment is on garden green, also stamped in memento black and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  The car is stamped on night of navy and clear embossed.



My third card uses a base of smoky slate and has a layer of Classic Garage dsp (retired).  The layer is crumb cake and the car is stamped on basic black with silver embossing powder.

The last card is has a slightly different style, base of crushed curry with a layer of Classic Garage dsp and sentiment stamped on crushed curry and clear heat embossed.  Car is also stamped on basic black with silver embossing powder.
