Tranquil Tulips

Today I’m sharing the host set, Tranquil Tulips. I absolutely adore this set – tulips are one of my two favourite flowers, freesias being the others for their scent. And the 2 step stamp set is perfect to make realistic – but watercolored – tulips. The texture in the flowers is really beautiful.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Tranquil Tulips - Bunch of Blossoms

Here I stamped the stems and leaf first in pear pizzazz. If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that pear pizzazz is one of my favourites and I’m thrilled that it goes so well with berry burst. I stamped off once before stamping the back of the tulips and then used the second stamp full strength for the front of the tulip. There are stamps for the stamens, but I felt that they were unnecessary in this instance. I used Bunch of Blossoms for the beautiful sentiment, stamped again in berry burst and then mounted my piece of whisper white onto a mat of pear pizzazz just 1/8 inch larger. This went onto a berry burst card base. I used this design for a recent class and it was popular as well as easy to mass produce.

You can only purchase hostess sets by either holding a workshop or placing a large enough order – they kick in at an order of $150 at 10% of the order total. This set is only $10 so at an order of $150 you can also order something else.
