Card Details
  • Paper
    • Old Olive 11" x 4 1/4", score and fold at 5 1/2"
    • Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper 3 1/4" x 4 1/2", 2 x 4 for sentiment

Timeless Tulips Note Card

Hello Crafty Friends!! Today I am sharing a quick card that is just one layer, ink and stamps.  The card features the Note Cards and Envelopes and the fabulous Timeless Tulips Stamp Set.  I hope you like it.


Card Details
  • Paper 
    • Whisper White 5" x 7", score and fold at 3 1/2" or 
    • Whisper White Note Cards and Envelopes
  • Stamps
    • Timeless Tulips
  • Ink
    • Granny Apple Green
    • Daffodil Delight
    • Lovely Lipstick
  • Tools
    • Grid Paper
    • Daubers
    • Washi Tape 

Tip: I used grid paper and washi tape to make guide for applying the inked background.  The strips of grid paper secured with washi tape make sure I have clean crisp edges of color.  I probably need to make a video of my coloring apparatus.  It works well and you can use the grid to accurately set the width of the background color.
