Tulips for Mother's Day

Posting another card I made with the gorgeous Tulips from Power Poppy. I made this card for Splitcoast Stampers' Sketch Challenge SC487 from last week. Hope to post more promptly in the future! The card I made for my mother-in-law:
Supplies: 
Stamps: Power Poppy's Tulips Digital Stamp Set
Dies: Spellbinders Classic & Scalloped Circles, Twisted Metal Tags & Accents
Paper: Ki Color Crush 6x6 Pad
Coloring: Copics
Faux Enamel Dots: Paper & Clear Embossing Powder
Other: cb ef: Swiss Dots, Letter Stickers. Signo White Gel Pen

This card was CASE'd from this beautiful inspiration by cathymac:

The image ended up to be too big to fit inside my circle, so I attempted to do the 'Out of the Box with Nestabilities' technique but I accidentally cut too far, so I just cut the whole flower out & adhered to a complete circle. Going to have to try that technique again, though...stay tuned!

One thing I did try out was to make my own 'faux enamel dots'. I spend hours learning new things to try and I almost never get around to actually DOING them. This was a little tricky, but I'm definitely going to try it again. You use paper circles so your embellishments match your project perfectly.

  2. How beautiful your tulips are! Pink tulips are some of my favorites! Nice save on your "out of the box" technique....I can't tell you how many times I have accidentally lopped something off doing that! :) A truly beautiful card!
