Tranquil Tulips Birthday Card

(Inside: Happy Birthday.  May today be the start of a wonderful year.”

This card features stamps from the “Tranquil Tulips” set (retired?) by Stampin’ Up.  The background was made with the “Dictionary Background” stamp (retired?) also by Stampin’ Up.

I used Tim Holtz “Antique Linen” and “Victorian Velvet” distress inks along with Gina K Designs  “Dark Sage” ink.  Water color paper added texture to the focal and background panels and was matted on Gina K Dark Sage card stock.

The greeting on the front is from the “Celebrate” stamp set (#SC0752) by Hampton Arts, and the inside sentiment is from the “Birthday Sentiments” set by Honey Doo Crafts.

For my first attempt, I used GKD “Honey Mustard” ink for the dictionary background and had done some sponging around the edges for a more distressed look.  A greeting panel could be added later.

Thanks for checking out my card project!
