Russet and Green Hampstead Tulip Oval Anniversary

This card was actually inspired by the lovely Kerry. I popped over to her blog yesterday and loved the style of her 'clean and simple' cards. Her style is quite different from my usual cards and so I decided to take some inspiration and have a go at a CAS card.

Here is the result:


The Tulip image, from the Papermania Hampstead Sketch Flower stamp set, was inked up with Papermania Olive Green pigment ink and ColorBox Terra Cotta pigment ink and stamped onto cream card. The image was then heat embossed using Heat It Up! Enchanted Gold embossing powder. You can't see it in the picture, but this gives the image a lovely sheen and a hint of glitter.

The image was then die cut using a standard oval Nestabilities die and the edges coloured with the ColorBox Burnt Sienna fluid chalk ink. This was then matted onto a big scalloped oval die cut from dark olive green Core'dinations card from the Elements card pack.

The card base was created to form a top fold tent card and the bottom edge was punched using the Martha Stewart Scallop Dot border punch. The sentiment, from Elzybells, was stamped along the border using the Terra Cotta ink and heat embossed with the Enchanted Gold embossing powder.

The edges of a strip of the scalloped circles paper from the Papermania Hampstead paper pack were coloured with the Burnt Sienna ink and adhered across the card blank and the image panel was matted over the top.

A strip of the russet geometrics paper from the same paper pack was adhered to the inside of the card to show through the punched detail.

I am entering this card into a few challenges:
