Pam up today ... a Thank you and a Valentine with the NEW Memory Box Tulip Stems die and the NEW Queen of Hearts die.
I die cut, embossed and then colored the Tulips and stems with Copic Sketch Markers... V22, 25, 28, YG21, 23, 25, 17.
The sentiment is from the Thank You Background stamp. I just used one line of it. Inked, stamped and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.
Memory Box Distress Dots Violet pattern paper and Violet notecard.

I die cut the Queen of Hearts die from silver glitter card-stock and red card-stock. I only used the heart from the red cut and I dry embossed it with the NEW Flourish Stencil by running it through the Big Shot. I aged it a bit with Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool. I wish I'd used silver or something though, instead of Walnut Stain. hmmm... : ) I might still do that!
I used the Upper Case Classic Alphabet set to die cut the word LOVE. I LOVE the Memory Box Alphabet sets!
Both cards are A-2 size.
Thanks for looking and holler if you have any questions!
These are both absolutely gorgeous! Wonderful designs and colors.

How do you adhere that fine line die cut. I've seen those dies but always wondered what to use as an adhesive. Please share. Love the dies and the look.

Hi Lori - I have some videos where you can see me gluing… click my name to go to my blog… then under categories to videos. I use Tombow Mono Multi for adhering fine line dies… just teeny dots in places. I don't try to cover the whole thing. You could run through a xyron too. I always leave my glue laying down, not standing up, so it doesn't get air bubbles. Keep the tip of your glue cleaned off so it can't glob up! Thanks for commenting!

I love this tulip card! I have a question. You mention that you emboss and then use copic markers on the tulips. What kind of emboss do you use and is it to deepen the color or what is the reason to emboss prior to coloring? Thanks for the inspiration!!!
