Tranquil Tulips (Video Tutorial)

I had a lazy Sunday afternoon with my hubby this past weekend. At one point, during our NCIS marathon, I worked on this card while Gibbs and crew solved crimes. All in all, a pretty good day! Unless noted, all products Stampin' Up!

**edit: I failed to mention in this post that my complete inspiration for the original piece came from artist Kellee Wynne. I will be doing another post with a piece I'm working on and tell you more about Kellee in a few days. In the meantime, click here to see her lovely website. 

This card was made using the hostess set called Tranquil Tulips. After I was finished with this particular card, I couldn't bring myself to add a sentiment or embellishment. I think the tulips speak for themselves. 

After uploading this card to a few demonstrator facebook pages, I had some requests for a video tutorial. Part of this card uses the Not Your Mother's Shaving Cream Technique, first showcased on my blog (with video) here. I would encourage you to watch at least the first segment of that video. 

Here is the version I made for the video:

I think both of these cards are fine without a sentiment on the front. I now have two beautiful cards ready for multiple occasions. I used various inks and supplies for the cards in addition to the hostess set. I go over that in the video a bit. Hope you enjoy it!
