Hello friends!!
FIRST OFF....I have to clarify that I am not leaving the blogging and card making world, I'm just leaving my DT's at this time, due to the fact that I'm just not going to have the time to commit to them. I'll still make time to play but it will be on my time. Thank you all for the well wishes but you can still come and visit me!! :)
As some of you know I have been guest designing for
Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps this month and I have to say that I am having lots of fun with it. Today I have a card for you that I created after receiving my Split Coast Stampers Weekly Inkling. OMGosh, I was so inspired that I had to give it a try and the stamp set "
Spring Tulips" was perfect for it!!! Here's my card...
Okay, now for some details about my card. First off I stamped my image on Kraft cardstock with Distress ink and then added clear embossing powder over the top and heat embossed it. Then I used the "Bleached Out" technique by Beate Johns at SCS to bleach out my image. It turned this really pretty pale yellow color. After the bleach was dry I used my Copics to add a little dimension to the tulips and petals. After I finished coloring I used my Spellbinder Grand Calibur to cut my image out and then ran it through my Cuttlebug in an embossing folder. I then used my Distrezz-it-all to distress the edges. I was trying to do the "Faux Fabric" technique (tutorial by Karen Barber at SCS) but I didn't have the right embossing folder so this is what I used. I think it still looks really pretty!! :) After I had it mounted on my scalloped oval I used my Smooch Spritz over the image. I sure wish you could see it in the picture because it really is pretty!!! I then stamped and heat embossed my sentiment from the same "
Spring Tulips" stamp set. I have used this really gorgeous paper from MME called Stella and Rose and OMGosh...I LOVE THAT DP!!!
Copics Used:
Tulip - Y32, Y35, Y38
Leaves - YG63, YG67 and G40
I hope I have inspired you a little today and seriously....YOU WILL LOVE THIS STAMP SET!!!
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a spectacular weekend!!

This is one beautiful card, Tammy!
I'm glad that you're still going to be around since I only recently discovered your blog and have really enjoyed seeing your lovely creations. I know what you mean about DTs taking a lot of time. I'm enjoying the one I am currently on but it does take some time away from my personal crafting.
