Tulip Fields are in bloom
The tulips aren't quite in bloom here yet. I couldn't believe the snow showers we had yesterday! And with it being mid April. Guess Mother Nature doesn't like Wisconsin all too well.
This card was a challenge. A good one, but still a challenge.
I've been watching some videos to see how other people stamp these rows of tulips. It can be quite tricky! This is how I do this.
First, stamp the top row that goes all the way across. Then stamp the row that goes directly down the middle. Now comes the inside rows and the most tricky. Line up the edge of the actual stamp with the previously stamped image. DO NOT line up the tulips on the stamp. By lining up the actual stamp edge leaves just enough of a separation between the tulip rows. Keep in mind to lineup the upper tip as well.
But again, it's a hand stamped card so it shouldn't be perfect. Mine definitely isn't! A few rows are close together and you can see a few tulips didn't stamp well in the right corner. These little imperfections make it even more special.
Remember those adhesive sheets I talked about in my last post? I can't imagine adhering the fence any other way! Stick the adhesive to the card stock, cut out the fence, peel and stick to the cardbase. Seriously, it can't get any easier than that. I highly suggest putting them on your wish List, if you haven't already.
