Framed Tulips Nature Walk Card & A Winner

Here are a couple more cards that I did at my workshop last weekend. This time we used the Nature Walk stamp set from the Occasions Mini, paired with the Framed Tulips Impressions Folder.  So pretty!  I was inspired by Ann Schach's Nature Walk card.

Too Cool How-Tos

• After running my 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Marina Mist through the Big Shot with the Framed Tulips folder, I sponged the raised texture with Soft Suede ink.
• On the 3" x 4-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla, I colored the floral stamp with Always Artichoke and Marina Mist markers and stamped several times before re-inking. 
• I used the Soft Suede marker th the Color Spritzer for a speckled background.
• I used the Scrunchy Ribbon technique for the Always Artichoke Seam Binding.
• The birdcage, robin and bee images are cut out and popped up with Dimensionals.
• I used a Blender Pen over the Early Espresso robin image to color in the top part of the bird (it smears the ink for the color).  I also colored the bee's body this way.
