Tulip thank you!

Well hello there! Hope you are doing well today. I spent the morning playing around with the new hostess set Tranquil Tulips and I looooove it! It is a two step stamp set with tons of possibilities. There are so many stamps in the set that I had a hard time narrowing it down for my card. I see lots of uses for this stamp set in my future (and I love a versatile stamp set!). I needed a thank you card and the beautiful flowers from this set came to mind right away. I paired it with Background Bits for the sentiment and my little card came right to life. Take a peek-see:

I built the bouquet of flowers by doing some two step stamping. If you are not familiar with that process, it basically means you build up a 3d looking image by layering stamped images on top of one another. You can use the same color or different colors for different looks. I used the same color for the larger tulips and 2 different colors for the smaller flowers. The stems all use the same color, but lots of different stamps. The combinations are limitless.

I stamped the script from the Background Bits set three times on the large Very Vanilla piece to fill in some of the white space. I added a punched 1" Circle and a tiny little piece of the new Copper Trim. That is the neatest stuff. You can use it like ribbon or spread it apart to get more of a netting look. It has a beautiful copper shimmer to it.
