April tulips for Visible Image

 Good morning it's time for my fortnightly blogged design team make for Visible Image.  Today I am sharing a spring themed card made with one of my favourite spring stamps sets called Sketched tulips.

which I teamed with their awesome and super versatile Torn fishnet layering die. 

 If you are very quick you can get 25% off the stamps and die (and everything other than the March release) over on the website by using the code EASTER25 at checkout. Plus there are some awesome Easter offers too. But do be quick as the Easter sale ends on the 16th April. This is the link.

This is what I got up to with today's make;

I made a distress stain spray background

I then used the Torn fishnet layering die to die cut an aperture in a 4 1/2" by 6 1/2" piece of white card. I stamped the words from the  Sketched tulips set as shown. I then cut the inked card to size

I stamped the tulips onto the inky card, using the aperture for placement, and then repeat stamped the tulips on white card, colouring their heads and cut them out. I stuck them in place as shown.

I then added some text to the aperture using the beautiful script stamp in the set. 

Next I used the the Torn fishnet layering die again to die cut using red card and cut these pieces up and laid them around my tulips.

I stuck the aperture over the top and trimmed any overhangs.

I matted it onto black card and added some sequins for a finishing touch.

Here is my card

The Visible Image Group page is over on Facebook. Our friendly Group is here ...it would be lovely to see you join us.  You will be warmly welcomed and see lots of inspiration from the DT and customers to inspire your own creativity. 

 I also organize a monthly artist trading card swap in the group.  We will be celebrating 2 years of swapping in May. Whether you are a new stamper or a seasoned one you are most welcome to join us. Over 120 members, worldwide, have taken part since it started. It's been such fun and it's so lovely to receive a unique piece of art from your partner in the post. The details and sign up for each swap are posted in the group on the 23rd of the month. So the next sign up, for May, opens on 23rd April, if you would like to join us.  A little heads up that as it is our 2nd anniversary next month there might be a little giveaway too! There is no "monthly" commitment, just join in when you have the time and if you live in the UK can you choose to post to the UK only if that suits you best.
