Guest Post: Sweet and Simple Tulips

Hello, it’s Raquel. I’m so happy to be collaborating with the folks from Pretty Pink Posh to celebrate their May release. I’ve been playing with some of their new products and I had a blast, they are much fun!

My first project features the Tulip Cover Plate die. This is an awesome die since it allows you to create a full A2 panel using multiple techniques. I don’t know about you but I love colorful strips so this is what I made. I covered a complete A2 card panel creating a gradient color and then run it through my good old Big Shot with this Tulip Cover Plate. For this card I only used some of the cut out pieces and kept the inner parts aside for a future project. I decided to turn it into a shaker just adding some embossing powders to create a contrast between the colors and the white space. 

For my second project I also made a shaker card. This time I colored the petals with Copic Markers (R81,R83,R85 – RV55,RV52,RV00- Y11,Y13,Y15) using flicking strokes.

I ink blended the center of my card base using Tumbled Glass Oxide Distress ink and added some Sparkling Clear sequins. I do love the contrast between the pink and yellow tulips and the blue background!

I hope you liked my projects and that they inspired you to create…

Thank you so much for stopping by!
