Materials used:Bugaboo Digi Stamps - Thank You Tulip Block
Whimsy Stamps - Party Papers (Facebook Freebie not available in store)
printer paper
X-Press It card
gold miri card
circle dies
2x square card blanks
Copic pens:
yellow tulip - Y02, Y16, Y17
pink tulip - R81, RV32, RV34
leaves - YG00, YG23, YG17, G29
butterfly - R29, R39, R59, R89 C5, C7, C9 Black W9sky - B000, B21, B23, B24
The complete image and just the tulip heads are printed on X-Press It card and coloured with Copics. I did not want the black border
around the block so I trimmed it off then matted it on gold mirri card. On the back I added a piece of the printed Whimsy paper so that a longer greeting or message could be written on it.
The card base is made using two square card blanks each with the front cut in half diagonally but in opposite directions. The backs are then stuck together leaving the fronts to form the pocket. Before assembling the inside and front flaps are covered with the printed paper matted on gold. The two flaps are stuck at the bottom edge.
The centre decoration is made using the extra tulip heads and a bit of leaf cut out and stuck with gel glue onto a circle of the printed paper matted on gold. The greeting card then slips into the pocket.
I really like this format of card so I think I may do some more in the future. They do make a change from the more traditional format of card.
I hope you will join us at Catch the Bug for this week's challenge. Thank you for dropping in. Take care.
Pippa

ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card Pippa. Thanks for entering this month's challenge at Creative Inspirations and good luck, Jayne DT
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely Pippa, the colours are vibrant and beautiful, particularly the blue. I like the way you've added the tulips buds to the pocket as well as the actual card, and the gold edging really lifts the project.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, your card doesn't quite meet the requirements for our challenge, which is to use a Beccy's Place image, so you won't be eligible to win a prize, but thank you for sharing it with us, it really is beautiful.
Cheers,
Beccy
Whoops sorry Beccy, my mistake. I don't think I was fully concentrating at the time!
