Tip Toe through the Tulips

Hi there,
Welcome to the new Sparkle N Sprinkle April Reveal Sets. Since it is the fifth of the month, I am up first with the new sets. Remember to leave a comment here on my blog and another over on the SNS blog to be eligible for the $20 gift certificate to the Shoppe! Today I would like to share what I did with the Tulip Square Set 894.


To begin with I placed the Tulip stamp in the Stamp Platform and wiped the black cardstock with the Anti-Static bag before stamping the image with Nuvo Clear Mark ink. Using the Anti-Static bag is especially important when using black cardstock and heat setting with white detail embossing powder.


Next I stamped the sentiment with the Clear Mark ink on white cardstock and this time I heat embossed with Raspberry Tart. I cut out the sentiment using the Sizzix Dotted Square with the Tangerine Machine.


I went on to color the Tulip Square with embellishment Mousses, Pink Flambe for the flowers and Spring Green for the leaves and stems and a little Cornflower Blue was added in places too. The mousse was applied using the Nuvo Water Brush. It gives a lovely chalky appearance and the white embossing powder resists the mousse.


Next using the Tangerine again, I cut out the stem from Tonic die Woodland Aster from black cardstock.


The Spring Green mousse was applied to the stem with a Jumbo Dauber.


I stamped the single flower from the Tulip Square set three times on black cardstock in Nuvo Clear Mark and then heat embossed with the Raspberry Tart. These were then fussy cut using the 5" Mini Scissors from Tonic.


I ended up adding some of the Pink Flambe mousse to those flowers too, before I put the card together. The stem was stuck down the left side with Tear-ific Tape and Mounting Tape behind the flowers. The front panel was then layered to bright pink cardstock before a black card base.


The sentiment was edged with RV04 Copic marker before being attached to the middle of the Tulip Square with an Action Wobble and that finished my card for the day. I liked the way the dotted square die coordinated with the dots in the image.


Below you will find all the products I used to create this card, most of which can be found in the Sparkle N Sprinkle store.
SNS is trying something new instead of our regular Blog Hop. In order to be eligible to pick up a $20 gift certificate to the SNS Shoppe, you need to leave a comment here on my personal blog  and then head over and comment on the SNS Blog as well. You have to comment in both places to be eligible. The winner of the certificate will be announced at the end of the month.

  16. Oh my - a vision!!! Absolutely striking card and I had to smile as we met Tiny Tim one day playing at a karaoke bar singing tiny tulips! Your work as always is breathtaking !

  17. These squares are just stunning. I love the white that is colored over, (is this called white wash technique?) and using the squares in the 'quilt like' pattern really shows off the stamp design so nicely. Hadn't thought of using the mousse in this way, but it really gave a pretty effect. Love the side border treatment as you've done it, and that's some fantastic fussy cutting on the tulips! Great way to show off this new reveal. WTGo! TFS & Happy Sunday.
