Triumph Tulip by Altenew

Hello readers!  As we are getting closer and closer to Easter this coming Sunday, I have resigned to the fact that I didn't send any Easter cards out.  In my defense, I sent out both St. Patrick's Day AND Valentine's Day cards this year, so I feel like that evens things out!   However, last weekend I did find the time to put a couple cards together to share with you for some spring and Easter inspiration this week.  

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I created the background using Adirondack alcohol inks in the colors Sherbet, Lemonade and Watermelon.  Using the Altenew Watercolor Stripes Cover Die, I die cut the frame from white cardstock.  I stamped the tulip layers in a variety of orange, yellow and pink inks to really show the depth and dimension of this beautiful layering stamp set.  I also stamped the leaves in varying shades of greens.  I die cut both the leaves, steps and tulips using the coordinating Triumph Tulips dies and adhered them to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I stamped the sentiment in the lower right corner using Memento Tuxedo black ink.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the tulips for added sparkle.  

Thank you for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

XO, Crystal
