Video: Tulip Fields and Blue Skies

Hello, friends! It’s Channin here with a new card and video featuring the Tulip Field HeroScape set! This simple and scenic card is a breeze to put together thanks to this layering set and its endless blue sky is sure to brighten anyone's day!!

(If you are having trouble viewing this video, please try watching it HERE on YouTube.)

I started by stamping the first layer of the Tulip Field HeroScape stamp set in Green Apple Bold ink onto white cardstock. I then positioned the detail layer for the stems and leaves and stamped it in Moss . Next, I positioned the first layer for the flowers and stamped it in Cotton Candy . I then finished the tulip field by stamping the last layer in Crimson .

Next, with my MISTI , I stamped a hot air balloon in Cotton Candy. I then stamped the balloon again but this time I partially inked it up with Crimson which creates a gradation over the balloon giving it the appearance of roundness. I repeated this process once more to create a second balloon. With my images now all stamped I die cut them out as well as three clouds with the Tulip Field Frame Cuts . I then trimmed the landscape image down a 0.25” and removed the remaining white cardstock at the bottom.

Next, I created the sky background by ink blending with Splash Reactive Ink over a 4” x 5.25” panel. Once I finished the background I adhered all the die cuts to the panel and then adhered the panel onto an A2 top-folding card base. I finished the card by stamping a sentiment in Intens-ified Black Ink .

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and video! Thanks so much for stopping by!

I finally got to try making my cards using the tulip fields last night and like how they turned out . I have been lucky to be able and go to the factory store in Richmond and purchase from Hero Arts. I have the Lavender fields and the Birthday stamps from Creative Nation.

Mike Bess,

Such a peaceful card. Love the balloon to cloud placement. Hope you are well! Thanks
