Instructions: Cut a piece of white cardstock to 11 x 5 3/4" size, score and fold at 5 1/2" to create card base. Use from the HCD1-7213 Elegant Pocket Accents Die to transform card base into an oval shape. Using the outline die, place on right side of card base, sliding the inside outline underneath card base and the outside edge on top, so that only the outer edge is diecut from card base. Repeat this step on the left side of card. Use the outline die again to diecut two dark fuchsia backgrounds from the Tulip paper. Now use the same outline die paired with the coordinating elegant center, to diecut two elegant borders from white cardstock. Layer the white borders onto the coordinating dark fuchsia backgrounds. Use dimensional adhesive to attach onto oval card base.
Stamp small tulip 2x from HCPC-3858 Tulip Time Cling Stamp Set in Tiger Lily ink onto white cardstock and diecut with coordinating die. Stamp the medium tulip 1x and large tulip 1x from same stamp set in Vibrant Fuchsia ink onto white cardstock and diecut with coordinating die. Stamp small tulip leaves 2x and large tulip leaves 1x from same stamp set in Fern Green onto white cardstock and diecut with coordinating die. Stamp the small single drooping tulip 2x and tulip buds 1x from HCPC-3860 Tulip Vase & Fillers Cling Stamp Set in two color tones, Fern Green (leaves) and Vibrant Fuchsia (tulips) onto white cardstock and diecut with coordinating die. Stamp the tulip bucket from HCPC-3859 Tulip Bouquet Cling Stamp Set in Vermillion onto white cardstock and diecut with coordinating die. Trim off the tulips from bucket and use X-Acto knife to cut a line opening into bucket.
Use the Stack and Store daubers to color the tulips, leaves and bucket. For the tulip petals, use Magenta Hue on the outer edges of petals and Tiger Lily in the centers. Use a variation of the same two colors for remaining tulips. For the leaves use Leaf Green ink. Use Vermillion ink on the flower bucket. Use the HCFB1-472 3D Tulip Shaping Mold to shape tulip petals. Spritz the petals lightly with water before sending through the die cutting machine. Use the shaping stylus to finish shaping the leaves, tulips and bucket. Use hot glue gun to assemble tulips and thread wire stamen from HCS1-458-3 Bright Bead Stamens-Medium through the tulip centers. Thread the tulip stamens through the top of leaf stems and attach with hot glue. Arrange tulips into the bucket as pictured. There will be 6 extra small tulips that you can save for another project. Attach tulip bucket onto card. Cut sentiment from the paper collection, sponge edges with Magenta Hue ink and attach onto card. Use Dries Clear glue along with Crystal glitter to add a touch of sparkle over card as desired.
