Sneak Peek: Tulips

Hello friends! This is Angelica and I am back today to showcase the new Tulips stamp set (releasing on March 20th). Tulips are one of my favorite spring flowers and I couldn’t wait to color these images!

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Tulips

This stamp set has a coordinating die set, but I chose to make a  one-layered card, using masking paper. I stamped the top layer first, covered the flower, then stamped the background flowers. I used Polychromos pencils to color the flowers. I always start with a white pencil, and lightly color in where I want my highlights to be. Then I colored the flowers with the main color. I used Van Dyke Brown and Brown Ochre to add my shadows. I finished my coloring with a white pencil again, reinforcing the highlights.

I trimmed the panel with the stitched rectangle die from Stitched Notes, and adhered the panel to a card base with foam adhesive. I used the Hello die from Hello Friend Script Die for my sentiment. I die-cut white card stock three times, stacked and glued the words together, and glued the word over the petals to finish the card.

I love how this card turned out. Using colored pencils on gray card stock really helped the flowers stand out. I hope I was able to share some springtime inspiration.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Join us tomorrow for another sneak peek!
