As I patiently await the blooms on my tulips [those that the bunny didn't eat] I enjoyed a fun first-time playtime with some new press plates from LDRS Creative today! Introducing their Tulips Impression-Letterpress plate - of course I had to make my favorite white...
After pressing in black, I used a little blueish purple for shadows to make the whites whiter - and Leafy Green from The Stamp Market for their stems and leaves.
I couldn't help but use their Tulip Mix Background un-inked as my background.
Next, the same Tulips inked and colored in lots of color ...
Topped with a layered Hello from The Stamp Market.
ONE last one - you may have noticed I've used an MFT Elegant Rectangles
for the first and final card. I've found it best to cut first before pressing
so I don't lose any of that lovely impression of letterpress.
Another of TK's butterflies made a landing - I think I'll send this one to the
sweet gals at Triple B!
This planked parquet background was cut at Marcia's house in February - I think
it is from The Greetery? Maybe she'll remember whose sentiment this is?
What I would do without her I'll NEVER know!
I hope your gardens are popping with color! My new tulips have been protected the last few weeks with a little circle of chicken-wire ... fingers crossed!
