Tulip Fields

Tulip Fields Birthday

  

This card was created using the Tulip Fields Bundle and the Flowering Tulips Stampset (Which also comes in a bundle) from the January – June 2022 Mini Catalog. 

This is project is for avid stampers, even then I would recommend practicing stamping on printer paper until you get the stamping process down.

Score the So Saffron cardstock at 4 ¼”.

Card Front: 

1. Using the Tulip Fields Stampset, stamp rows of flowers onto 5” x 3 3/4” piece of Basic White Cardstock in So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo, and Highland Heather Classic. There are two stamps to accomplish this - one for the horizon, and one for additional flower rows. As mentioned earlier I would recommend practicing stamping on printer paper until you get the stamping process down and you are satisfied with the results.
2. Using Post-It Removable Labeling Tape 695, mask off the flower rows at the horizon.
3. Using a blending Brush, blend Pool Party onto the portion that makes up the sky until you have the desired color. 
4. Using Post-It Removable Labeling Tape 695, mask off the flower rows so that the white space between them can be colored with a sponge dauber to look like dirt.
5. Color the white space between the rows of flowers with a sponge dauber and Crumb Cake.
6. Stamp the windmill onto the 2” x 2” piece of Basic White Cardstock in Crumb Cake, then using a sponge dauber lightly blend on Crumb Cake. I softened this up by running over it with a Water Painter.
7. Stamp the 3 ¾” x 1 ¼” piece of Classic White Cardstock in Old Olive with the Birthday Sentiment from the Flowering Tulips Stampset.
8. Stamp the Tree onto the 1 ¾” x 1 ½” piece of Basic White Cardstock in Old Olive.
9. Stamp the clouds in Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pad onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock.
10. Stamp the small bushes in Pear Pizazz onto a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock.
11. Cut out Windmill, Clouds, and small bushes using the Tulip Fields Die Set.
12. Cut the tulip border 2 times from the 3 ¼” x 1 ½” of So Saffron Cardstock.

Assembly:

1. Attach the 5 ¼” x 4” piece of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock to the So Saffton card base using Stampin’ Seal.
2. Attach the 5” x 3 3/4” stamped image to the Flirty Flamingo Cardstock using Stampin’ Seal.
3. Attach the Sentiment to the stamped image using Stampin’ Seal.
4. Attach the clouds, tree, and the left bush as shown in picture using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. 
5. Attach the right bush just below the tree using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
6. Attach the Windmill as shown using Stampin’ Dimensionals. It is ok to partially cover one of the clouds.
7. Attach the Tulip Border to the top and bottom of the birthday sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
8. Attach Brushed Brass Butterflies to the sentiment.
9. Attach a 5 ¼” x 4” piece of Basic White Cardstock to the inside of the card using Stampin' Seal.
