We took the off cut strips and adhered then inside the box to serve as dividers.

The long thin Whisper White panels were adhered to the Long Flirty Flaming panel and added to the front and back of the back panel of the box.

We embossed the 3 small Whisper White panels using the Parisian Flourish embossing folder, added them to the small Flirty Flamingo panels then to the flaps of the box.

The ladies stamped a row of tulips in 4 colours onto scrap Whisper White card stock – 8 tulips in all and punched them out using the Tulip Builder Punch. We attached the Old Olive ‘stems’ with Mini Glue Dots. They were then added to the dividers and the back of the box with Mini Glue Dots

The smooth side of the Stone Embossing folder was inked up using Old Olive ink and ran it through the Big Shot using the new blue embossing plate. I love the effect this gives. The embossed layer was glued to the Old Olive panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then to the Real Red card front using the same adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -The Timeless Tulips Bundle stamp set and Punch used for March classes

We stamped a flower in each of the four colours and punched them out. The flowers were then curled from side to side using the bone folder to give a bit of dimension.

The stems and leaves were stamped on the long thin Whisper White panel and the flowers added with a dimensional. The stamped panel was added to a layer of Old Olive, then to the card front with the liquid adhesive.

We inked up the flowers with Flirty Flamingo ink then used a sponge dauber to add Real Red ink around the base of each flower before stamping the flower onto scrap Whisper White card stock and punching it out. The flowers were shaped in the same way as for the previous card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -The Timeless Tulips Bundle stamp set and Punch used for March classe

The background was embossed using the Scripty Embossing Folder and one of the Whisper White panels. This was adhered to the Real Red panel, then to the Flirty Flamingo card base.
