STAMPIN' UP! TULIP THANK YOU CARD IN SO SAFFRON

 

This week's Colour Creations blog hop is all about So Saffron, a soft yellow in Stampin' Up!'s colour range.

I have chosen a piece of  Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper that has So Saffron in the background, and have added a few other So Saffron elements.

How beautiful is that paper?  After stamping three tulips, from Timeless Tulips, in So Saffron ink on Basic White card, I punched them out using the matching Tulip Builder Punch.  I created a "basket" for the flowers to sit in, by die-cutting a piece of Basic White card with the largest hexagon die from the Beautiful Shapes Dies assortment.  After cutting the hexagon in half, I used my paper trimmer to score the top, to give the basket a "lip".  I then added some texture with the Checks & Dots embossing folder.

Across the join of the two different patterned papers on my card front, I added a tulip border cut from So Saffron card.  The bow on the pot/basket was made from White Crinkled Seam Binding, coloured with my Dark So Saffron Stampin' Blends marker.

Here's a closer look at the sentiment, from the Flowering Tulips bundle, which I stamped in So Saffron ink on Basic White card.  I cut it out with a circle die from Beautiful Shapes, and matted it on a scalloped circle cut from So Saffron card, using Layering Circles Dies.  So Saffron ink was sponged around the edges of the scalloped circle.  Some In Color Jewels add a bit of sparkle to my card.
