Hi everyone, I have another birthday card to show you today. I
used a small set of stamps from Chocolate Baroque called Tulip Script which contains both of these images. First I stamped the main image onto white card with Memento Back Tuxedo ink and coloured it with Promarkers. I then mounted it onto first dark green card and then onto some light pinky lilac card. The base card is a white 5"x 7" folded card, and I used the outline tulip image to stamp randomly on the front. I used Brilliance Ivy Green ink for the leaves and stems and a Milled Lavender Distress Marker for the flower.I added a matching ribbon with a little flower charm hanging on it before placing the image panel with foam tape.The birthday greeting is from Chocolate Baroque clear stamp set Amazing Birthday.
As usual the matting mounts came from the snippets box so I will be popping over to link this up at Pixies Snippets Playground, where I gather there may be some ark building going on!!
I am also entering this at Great Impressions Challenge - Floral Images

Love the floral design with the script...saves all the trouble of masking...which I have read about but never done!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a soft, pretty card.
So lovely!!! I love the way you stamped the image to create the background paper. Beautiful card!

I love this CB Tulip Script stamp and love the soft tones you have used and excellent colouring, and the outline tulip inked in pink and green makes a very unique background. The little flower charm is so cute. A really pretty and elegant card Jean. x

I love how you've stamped the tulips in the background and the beautiful design image! The bit of black makes it all pop and that shade of pink is the new favorite pink!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birthday card!

ReplyDeleteOh Jean, this is really beautiful. So clever to have a stamped matching background too. Lovely colours, so perfectly matched with the ribbon and little charm. Love it!

Your addition of the charm is a lovely touch & I love the way it picks up the greens. Very elegant with the background stamping allowing the focal image to shine. It's making me hanker after spring.

VERY pretty indeed. xxx
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely floral, and so well presented the way you did the stamping & matting. Love those CB images, and your coloring technique is marvelous. Also liked the way you did the outline stamping on the border of the card. The pretty ribbon & charm added so much interesting detail as well. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteJean, it seems as though nearly every area of the UK is getting that drenching rain. I saw an MSN article about flooding around the Thames, and some of the other bloggers in different areas are dealing with rain & storm force gales. Glad you had a bit of sunshine to brighten up your day...hopefully it will slack off soon. Before we know it, Spring will be here. Not long now. Hugs & stay dry & warm.
ReplyDeleteSo classy and dreamy.
ReplyDeleteLove your tulips, very pretty design. Thanks for joining us at Great Impressions for our floral challenge.
ReplyDeleteNot only are these pink tulips gorgeous, but the purple bloom in the post just below is fabulous! Beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteLovely and elegant, just loving those tulips.
