Die Cuts
I really like how these all came together!!! I had another one, but it wouldn't fit in properly to photograph it very well. I used Flourish Medallion SweetCuts for the background base. I split them in half and glued them points, facing one another. I then cut Tulip Oval SweetCuts out of Black cardstock and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I laid that on top of the stick tape. The negative space was filled with Glitter RITZ white and burnished for a smooth surface. I then took my Copic markers and colored the inside of the Tulips.
The finishing touch is seam binding ribbon colored with distress ink, matching the tulips!! :)
Here is a closer look at both cards.

Just gorgeous Calypso! I *love* the embossed dies and the shimmer under it.
ReplyDeleteThese are both so gorgeous, Calypso! I love the shimmer and the yellow and lavender colors for spring! I think your tulips take on a stained glass feel. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteCalypso your card is very beautiful, I love the clean and very sparkly looks of it. Great colors that are perfect for spring :-) Thank you so much for playing along over at Sparkle N Sprinkle and we are hoping to see your beautiful creation next month :-)

Wonderful designs, beautiful coloring and love the added sparkle of the glitz. Love the way you used the medallion die and colored the ribbons to match.
