Miss Mad Stamper: Timeless Tulips

I did an In Color with the retiring colors from January-May. The May color is Terracotta Tile. You can't get this color any longer but you can substitute Calypso Coral and have a similar look. Terracotta Tile is a shade darker than Calypso Coral.

I started with this funky chicken from Hey, Chick. This set was a Sale-a-bration set a few years ago. Stampin' Up! re-released it with coordinating dies. There is also another stamp set and dies that add to the fun! I love the playfulness of this chicken. The floppy feathers on the top of his head is so perfect for this guy. I did stamp the Drybrush background on the Coastal Cabana layer.

The Ornate Garden designer series paper offers a fantastic background for the beautiful tulips. I'm so glad this set is hanging around for another year! I haven't played with it enough.

Finally, Butterfly Brilliance rounds out the cards for Terracotta Tile. I stamped the butterflies with Terracotta on Petal Pink. The die cut butterfly is covered with Wink of Stella and really stands off the paper in real life.

While some of the In Colors have gone away, we are welcoming 5 new colors to the collection! Be on the lookout as I'm getting ready for my latest In Color Club with Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, and Fresh Freesia. I will be making cards for these colors and sharing them here too!

Happy Stampin'!

How are your tulips coming? Mine are up, out of the ground and growing fast. I look forward to their blooms real soon. I'm pretty sure the majority of my tulips are two toned pink. I think I created some pretty tulips here too!

I started with the panel on the left side of the card front. I masked off the strip and then used my blending brushes to add the Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, and Calypso Coral, making sure to blend the Daffodil into the Olive and Coral colors so they would blend even more. To get the tulips to be two-toned, I inked them up with Daffodil Delight and added Calypso Coral with a sponge dauber to the bottom portion of the buds.

There is no trick to create this card. It's a pretty straight forward design. I did die cut the oval first and stamped second. I started with the larger tulip and added the smaller buds, stems and leaves after. The Brick & Mortar makes a good background for these beauties to shine off.

The larger tulip was punched with the coordinating punch and I fussy cut the smaller bud. They are on the card with dimensionals to create some depth. It's really hard to see but the Daffodil Delight strip is embossed with Tasteful Textile.

I hope you see your tulips blooming soon. I know that I love when they open. It truly feels like spring then!

Happy Stampin'!
