Spring Tulips

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a couple of cards I made using the Spring Tulips stamp set by MFT.

I started out to use the Color Challenge this week on the MFT Card Challenge Blog.

The colors to use were:

I don't have the exact colors and was going to use close to what I have. I then just got carried away while coloring my tulips and used a couple of colors not included in the challenge, so do I link it up over there or not? :/

I do like how the colors looked when coloring on the Kraft card stock. I stamped and masked and stamped again getting three sets of tulips using my black memento ink. I then colored with my copic markers.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake and the a layer of basic black and then the main panel is more crumb cake card stock.

I used one of the sentiments in the Spring Tulip set for my card. I stamped with ersmark and then embossed with white embossing powder.

I then stamped a few more tulips onto some white card stock and colored them again with my copic markers.

By this time into my coloring I had totally forgot the color challenge colors and was just coloring some pretty tulips.

I completely colored in the BG as well. Another embossed sentiment  and a few sequins to complete this card.

So which is your favorite? 

Thanks for stopping by today!

The Paper Players.....Wishing You a Happy Birthday

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using 

the sketch challenge this week on The Paper Players Blog.

This was a fun little sketch to work with.

I had an idea for this card when I saw the sketch but it sure took a long time to get it to come together.

I really just had the basic idea, the tulips to the side of the circle and the sentiment across the bottom.

This is another new set I got from MFT called Spring Tulips.

Love it, it has solid and line images both for the tulips and some really pretty sentiments. 

I had the idea for a red and crumb cake combo, and that is on here but really the white is more prominent I think.

I created the BG by cutting a "stencil" with the retired lattice die from Stampin Up.I laid it down and sponged over it with some Soft Sky ink. It is really pretty and looks so much better than I was able to capture in my pics.

My center element is made up with a doily and the round DSP is from a retired pack.

I stamped the tulips with memento ink and colored with my copic markers. I then cut it all out and added it to the circle with some dimensionals.

The sentiment is stamped onto some red card stock with black craft ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder. I just hand cut the "v" in the banner and added it just tucking it under the tulips.

Thanks for stopping by today!
