Blended Marble Tulips

I just LOVE these 3D tulips!!  Pick your favorite background DSP, find a coordinating DSP for the flowers (in this case I blended in some extra color to coordinate), and you have an instant beautiful card! Oh, and don't forget those darling Brushed Brass Butterflies.


Measurements:  

  • Rich Razzleberry: 1/2 sheet
  • Flowering Fields DSP: 4" x 5 1/4" (purple tulips)
  • Simply Marbleous: 1/2 sheet (3" x 6") - Highland Heather
  • Basic White:  3 1/2" x 4 3/4", 1/4 sheet (inside)

To Make This Card:
  • Attach DSP to folded Rich Razzleberry card.
  • Cut 2nd largest stitched scalloped rectangle from Basic White.
  • To make the Highland Heather Marble Paper a little more DSP "friendly", I added some Rich Razzleberry ink color to the DSP with a Blending Brush. I love the colorations this creates!
  • To make the 3 different tulips, you will need one each of the "folded" bases.  There are 3 of these, 2 full tulips and a bud. You will need 2 of the "V" shape insert, and 3 of the small oval inserts (there are 3 of these dies!)  So each flower has 3 pieces and those 3 pieces are different for each flower.  (See the chart above)
  • Fold each flower "base" along score lines.  Attach together with Mini Glue Dots.
  • The "bud" has a "ruffled" top. It only has one small oval insert.  Place this inside, then set aside.
  • For the other 2, full tulips, attach together with Mini Glue Dots. Then, insert the "V" piece, then lastly the small oval.  I attached these, also with MIni Glue Dots, but you could also use Multipurpose Glue or Dimensionals.  Note: You might want to shape the edges of these petals with a Bone Folder.
  • Arrange the flowers on top of the White rectangle, as desired.  Mark base with a pencil.
  • Next, remove the flowers and stamp 3 "stems" in Soft Succulent, then add "leaves" where desired.
  • Now, attach tulips.  Attach this White piece to card front with Dimensionals.
  • Cut the largest stitched rectangle from 1/4 sheet of white. Place inside card.  Add a sentiment in Soft Succulent ink.
  • Finish with a Fresh Freesia bow, and a couple Brushed Brass Butterflies.
