Bunch of Tulips Doodles Digital StampCompleted by Gwyneth George

I printed this digi-stamp out onto 300gsm Super Smooth cardstock at a much smaller size than supplied and coloured it in using my ProMarkers. I also printed out background cup38009_8 onto Matte Crafty Bob paper. I created my base card by scoreing, folding and trimming an A3 sheet of Centura Pearl Snow White cardstock to make a large square card. I took a sheet of bought in lattice from my crafty stash, popped out the pieces and coloured them the same red as the tulips on the digital stamp to make petals, shaped them, and stuck them together using quick grab glue to make miniture flowers for embelishment. The lattice itself I coloured in with gold paint. the kit that the lattice came in also had the frame and the little panels I've used as a greeting panel and flower plaque. I colured the frame and went round the panels using a green ProMarker I'd used when colouring the digi-stamp. I trimmed the background sheet to be around 1.5cm smaller height and width than the card itself and used a paper punch to round the corners. Matted it onto green Satin Board and trimmed to leave a small border and again punched the corners. I then attached this to my base card. A panel of the Centura Pearl that was trimmed off the base card was cut to the size of the framed lattice and attached behind it using 2mm deep, double sided, foam tape before it was put on the front of the card. I coloured a greeting "Sul Y Mamau Hapus" - which is Welsh for "Happy Mother's Day" - with two of the ProMarkers I'd used to colour in the digi-stamp before attaching it to the greetings panel and used glue gel to attach the little flowers to the other panel. I used the same 2mm foam tape to attach these to the card front.

This is a lovely little digital stamp that could be used for many spring occasions as a single feature on a card or within a larger, more ornate card.
