Tulip Luck

I love this tulip stamp that I bought from Cornish Heritage Farms (I believe it is retired - I got it on sale), however, I never think to use it!! I stamped this on some glossy paper and colored it in with my copic markers. Because the glossy paper was so thin (not typical cardstock stuff) placing the image on white cardstock washed out all the color. So, I took a piece of white vellum and colored it with oil pastels - orange. Then I used some Japanese Mint Oil to blend the pastel color around on the vellum ... and voila, orange vellum. I adhered the image to the vellum using brads then adhered it to the white cardstock. A simple sentiment and an orange card base finished off the card. Supplies: Stamps - tulips (Cornish Heritage Farms), sentiment is from Paper Tray set (Papertrey Ink); Ink - Black (StazOn), Basic Black (Stampin' Up!); Paper - orange (Bazzill), Whisper White (Stampin' Up!), vellum (Stampin' Up!), glossy paper is a transfer paper for transferring images ot t-shirts (unknown); Other - brads (Making Memories), markers (Copic). Thanks for dropping in. Donelda

That happens to me a lot. I buy a stamp and then it gets put away or I'm just never in the mood to use it. This one is a good stamp and your card is very pretty :)

This is one of those CAS cards that turned out not to be quite so simple, right? Still stunning, though!
