Tip - Toe ....

Hi and welcome to my blog  :)  I have a 'golden oldie' card to share with you today, a sample from last year's Spring tv shows.    I have used stamps from the Spring Bird Tulip and Spring Foliage sets: Brushos, black Versfine ink, Versamark ink,gold embossing powder, a gold pen.

I took a piece of white card and stamped both groups of Tulips from the set, masking and overstamping to create one large group.  When all the Tulips were masked I brushed water onto the card and sprinkled Brushos randomly across the panel.  I love the way the colours burst and spread all over the card creating a beautiful background.  

Using the Brushos as paints this time I painted the flower heads after removing the masking fluid.  

I did the same with the foliage.

I stamped foliage images around the edges of the panel in Versamark ink and embossed them with gold EP, to frame the Tulips.  I stamped and embossed a sentiment in the same way, then added gold pen around the outer edges before matting it onto red card.  I attached the panel to a white base card and blended DI around the edges.   

I love this design, I think it's really bright and cheerful and very Spring-like.  I think it would make a lovely card for a Spring birthday, anniversary, get well or any other occasion.  I also think it is suitable for both male and female cards.  

Thank you  very much for popping in today, I hope you've enjoyed this post and will come back again soon  :)
