Field of Tulips

OOh, this card is so gorgeous in person. I wish you could see it! I created this for SCS Sketch Challenge #207 and was INSPIRED by the CCDEC1308 Color Challenge (I used a ton of green not in the challenge so I can only claim to be inspired by this challenge - Hope you don't mind Ashley!).

I'm finally feeling a little better but when I went to make this card, I felt like I was in an episode of the Three Stooges make a card! I kept loosing things and making dumb mistakes!

I cut the center square out of a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and then put it back in to place on an old sticky Cricut mat (Cut then Ink Technique). I stamped just the tulips in Virsamark and then my color before going to the paper. I used Riding Hood Red ink near the bottom, Cameo Coral in the middle, and Pirouette Pink at the top (following the rule that things are more vivid when close to you and softer as they move further away). I covered with detail embossing powder and heated.

Then I sponged Baja Blue at the top and moved downward with River Rock, Kiwi Kiss, and finally Old Olive. Wipe the ink of the embossed areas when you are done!

Next I stamped the stems in the same color ink as sponged in the area (darker in front and lighter as I moved up). At the very top, I only touched the paper very lightly. Finally, I cut those 4 little side pieces out for the sketch and inserted a layer of craft under them.
