Yesterday was reveal day at Label Tulip! There are four new Tulip Girls and so the gallery is just full of crazy awesome inspiration! Here's what I contributed…
Marriage is Hard
This is probably one of the all time simplest layouts I've ever done. My Mother said it was ugly when she saw it, but I rather like it. Plus, how cool is it that the screenprinted pattern resists the colorants? The original piece of paper is kraft colored (like the center of the heart).
Shooting Ann
I think this is my favorite of the four layouts I did with the main kit. I love the way it all came together (and the masking is just so neat looking with the butterfly). I did a very messy machine stitch all along the lacy ribbon and I'm very pleased with how it looks too!
Too Busy
I used one of my all time favorite techniques on this layout. I placed the two exclusive Label Tulip stamps (aren't they fun?) onto a block and used Ranger Distress Ink to stamp them across the page. Distress Ink is reactive with water, so I spritzed the background with water and let the ink run for a very cool effect! The lacy ribbon is dyed with Glimmer Mist.
Unbalanced
This was for the monthly challenge: create a monochromatic layout. I've rarely ever done something like this and I do feel that I cheated a little bit, but I had fun nonetheless. And I learned something! A monochromatic background allows for a lot of layering and texturing, but really lets your photos take center stage (and busy photos at that). Good to know!
And now (insert drum roll and a big grin here)…my project kit: Metropolis in Bloom! You have to scroll down after you click through the link in order to buy it.

I am in awe of your creations!! I tried to do masking and such this time around too, but I just couldn’t get it to look right! You make it look so easy! Love what you did with the Not-to-do stamp and the big flowers that you cut from the Pink Paislee paper. The mini album is amazing too.

I love it all (especially the stamped background and the glimmer misted ribbon). And yes, marriage is hard work (sometimes I think that folks forget that and just give up). Keep on creating and sharing!

AHHHH!! That mini album is to die for. Seriously that is one of my all time favorite things you have ever made. Very cute. I’ve been in a mini album slump for over a year so I can totally appreciate it. Love all the layouts too! You’ve been busy is right!

I love the background with the distress ink. I am looking forward to trying this out! The mini album is SO cute! I haven’t seen anything like it. The best part was looking at the kit supply and then scrolling down to see the project- wasn’t sure what to expect- definitely love it!
