Promise Me Pink Tulips

Hello, my friends and welcome.

The tulips are pretty much gone by here
but they still flourish in the studio.

I've had this stamp for a while and love it.  When I saw there was a die

to match, I bought it.  Then it sat in the NBUS box for a year or so.

I'm glad I finally got it out.  It works so well with the stamp!

First I die cut the tulips from a piece of mixed media paper cut

quite a bit larger than the die.

Once I had the cutout, I placed the out cut in my MISTI, laid the

stamp into the out cut, and closed the MISTI to set the stamp.

Then I placed the die cut into the out cut piece and it

stamped perfectly.

Sorry if my explanation isn't very clear.  Here's a tutorial on

Splitcoaststampers that may help.

I stamped on my die cut and used a water brush to move the

ink around.  Then stamped again to get the details back.

I have to admit that the stamped and die cut piece got shuffled around

on my work space for a week or two.

When I found this heat embossed script piece, I found a home 

for the die cut.

A little sponging with a damp baby wipe over the embossing

made a nice soft background for the pastel tulips.

A couple of stacked layers of the die cut sentiment and sequins to

balance the design and my table was a little neater!
