Card Making: Easter Card #3

In this card I ventured a bold color for the card base, that is a dark but vibrant red. Then I thought to combine it with green, so I used distress inks on a piece of white cardstock and then stamped on it with a Hero Arts Designblock stamp and cut the edges with a round punch.
When I mounted it on the red card, the contrast was too much for me, so I stamped on it with white ink and the Hero Arts Old Letter background stamp (on second thought I should probably have used ivory and not white...)
The combination was perfect for mounting the image, it is a freebie that I colored with my copics. Then I faced the dilemma: how do I adhere it to the card??? So I had the idea to use the tulle I recently purchased from Jumbo, so I colored it first with distress inks, then adhered the image on top with foam squares and...ready!
