For this week's card I have used the Flowering Tulips Bundle, which includes stamped tulips and die cut 3D tulips. As you can see I have used the dies to make 3D tulips. .JPEG)

I cut one of each of the different tulips from So Saffron card stock. The three different flowers use 7 different dies, as pictured below.

To add a bit more colour to these flowers I used a blending Brush to gently apply a small amount of Polished Pink ink to the base of the petals. Depending on how the petals folded together some of the ink needed to be applied to the reverse side of the pieces.
Similarly, to make the stems and leaves I cut three stems and three leaves from Pear Pizzazz card stock and them used another Blending Brush to apply Pear Pizzazz ink to the base of the leaves and stems.

The flowers are mounted on Basic White card stock that was cut with one of the Scalloped Contour Dies. This piece was then mounted on a piece of So Saffron DSP from the Subtles 6" X 6" pack.

This shows a close up of the shading on the petals.
While I had all of the dies out I continued to explore with different coloured flowers.

This second card features flowers in Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Calypso Coral. The Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral flowers were shaded with Polished Pink and the Fresh Freesia flower was shaded with Rich Razzleberry.

These flowers were mounted on a Daffodil Delight DSP card front.
