06/01/217 Update: Top Three winner at AHSC #213.
I have had this stamp and die set for a while and this is the first time I've used it. It's the type that requires the images to be die cut first, then stamped. (I think I prefer the other way around.) The tulips are three-step stamps and the stems are two-step. The card started as CAS but upon completion, I decided it was not.
The card base was stamped with a grunge spatter design and the sentiment was added. After die cutting and stamping two sets of flowers, one bundle of three tulips was directly adhered to the white card base. The other five tulips were backed with foam tape and adhered. Five clear droplets in two sizes were randomly adhered.
The inside of the card was stamped with a coordinating sentiment and some grunge spatter. The two remaining die cut tulips were adhered for decoration. Finally, clear Wink of Stella was added to the tulips.

Mel, I LOVE this! I recently purchased the tulip stamp and die set from Altenew and it is the same idea with the triple stamping. I'm surprised that you chose the cut first and stamp after... I find it easier to do the other way! This is gorgeous - the splatter in the background makes such a big difference to the card setting. GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing such a stunning card with us at Atlantic Hearts this week :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alyson! The dies are solid pieces of steel, not steel frames. Stamping first means you cannot see the image to line up the die. As I mentioned, I also prefer it the other way.
