The colour challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches seemed a great opportunity to have a play with Timeless Tulips. This set was in all the Conference bags at OnStage and this is my first play with it.
First up, I created a sponged column ranging from Pear Pizzazz at the bottom, moving through to Blushing Bride and finishing with Rich Razzleberry the top. Then I stamped in the three flowers. The top two deliberately broke the sponged column a little and I used a blender pen to pull some colour over to the bits on the white background.
After stamping in the stems and leaves, I used Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Blends to add some depth of colour and shading to the flowers. A bit of clear Wink of Stella gave the leaves a bit more emphasis.
Finally, I added in the sweet wee 'Happy Birthday' from the same set.
Timeless Tulips will be available in early January when the January-June Mini-catalogue comes out.
Update: Pleased to be chosen a Weekly Winner at CAS Colours and Sketches.

Love this Jan - can’t wait to get my hands on this set. Your blended column is a great way to draw the eye to those tulips and the addition of the Wink of Stella to the leaves adds a great subtle sparkle. I need some photo editing tips from you - I can never get it to show up so well on mine!
