Birthday cards

For some birthday cards, I played with one of my favorite

Club Scrap Stamps: The tulip rubber stamp.

It is an oldie and not available anymore, but there are

tons of other wonderful stamps.

This is the stamp and for the first card I used two color:

red for the flowers and green for the leaves and the stem.

I used this sketch:

from the CAS(E) this Sketch! Blog.

Happy is a die by SU! and birthday part of a Club Scrap stamp.

While I had this stamp out, I decided to make some more cards.

For the 2nd cards I stamped and embossed the tulips

with white  embossing powder on a white panel.

Next I added two colors of color burst

powder and sprayed it with water, so the color

spread all over the panel, but staued away from 

the embossed tulips.

Some baker's twine and a wish stamped on a seperate

piece of paper. I cut up the wish and used foam tape

to add the wish to the card.

For the 3rd card I started also with embossing the tulips

 with white embossing powder. Here  Icolored the background with distress

oxide colors and a blending tool. A much softer look.

Which one do you like best?

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
