Happy Birthday Card by Larissa Heskett

Tulips Birthday Card!

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

Larissa here today to share a BEAUTIFUL birthday card!! My son requested a card using tulips and I just LOVE the Newton's Nook Tulips Stamp Set so I knew I had to use it for this SPECIAL card!! I always get EXCITED when I get asked to make a SPECIAL card for someone and I hope this card will INSPIRE you!!

This card features:
Tulips Stamp Set
Tulips Die Set
Basic Frames Die Set

I started by stamping and embossing the tulips image from the Tulips Stamp Set 3 times along with the bee images from the Newton's Blooms and Spring Haul stamp sets onto some white cardstock using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and embossing with WoW Clear Gloss embossing powder!! Then I used Copic Markers to color the image in!! 

Green: YG61, YG63 & YG67    
Purple: V00, V15 & V09    
Yellow: Y00 & YR23 

Blue: BG10 & BG13     
Grey: N0 & N3

Truck: G00, G02 & G45
Green: YG00, YG13 & YG25

Red: R00, R14 & R37
Turquoise: BG00, BG45 & BG49

Yellow: Y00, Y13 & YR23
White: N0, N3 & N5

Black: N0, N3, N5 & N8
Orange: YR00 & YR68

Brown: E30, E33 & E37
Cats: E40, E43 & E47 

Pink: R00

Then I used the coordinating Tulips Die Set to die cut the tulip images out!! I added some glitter pen for some sparkle and then added some white gel pen highlights!! I used the coordinating Newton's Blooms Die Set and Spring Haul Die Set to die cut the bee images out!! Next, I die cut the card panel from some white cardstock using the Basic Frames Die Set!! I inked with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink and then stamped and embossed the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Birthday Roundabout Stamp Set!! I stamped with Versa Fine Black Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I added some Salvaged Patina Distress Spritz Splatters for some sparkle and some Black Soot Distress Paint splatters for some texture!! Next, I die cut a purple cardstock zig-zag Frame from the Frames & Tags Die Set!! I adhered the card panel and then adhered the tulip images using some foam tape for dimension!! I adhered the bee images also with foam tape for dimension and I LOVE the way this turned out!! 

 

I hope this INSPIRES you to create some SPECIAL birthday cards!! There are so many different ways you can combine the Newton's Nook floral images with either bees or butterflies to help bring the scene to life!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today!!


I hope you have a FABULOUS Weekend!!
