A Tulip

Every new Close To My Heart Idea Book, I create a card class based on any new "A" sized stamp sets. Here is the first of three cards made with A Tulip; A Game; and A Hop.

This card featured the masking technique. We stamped the middle tulip in Cotton Candy in the middle of the White Daisy cardstock. We stamped the 2nd generation on a piece of scrap paper and cut it out. After putting removeable adhesive on the back, we stuck it down, over top of the stamped tulip. Then we stamped the next 2 tulips in second generation Hollyhock.

I decided to stamp another tulip and cut its pieces up to make a more three dimensional flower. The leaves were stamped in 1st and 2nd generation Pear.

The patterned paper is from Sophia. The buttons were stamped in Cotton Candy and the sentiment and button stitching in Black. We added Bitty Sparkles to the base of each flower stem and Black waxy flax.

All supplies are Close To My Heart.
