Hi Friends

First official day of Spring on the calendar but the Spring Solstice is varying of a day usually but when I see 21st it is good enough for me and believable enough as well.  So I am happy it is not Winter anymore.

This tulip card was made with a Stamp from Blockheads Paper Arts.  I purchased the full sheet way back, but when visiting again I saw that each tulip stamp can be purchased individually, so this is more afordable if you have the intention to get this stamp you have the info and the link is: www.blockheadstamps.com

Recipe

2 color of CS needed, white for card base and lavender for the next layer and a Spellbinder shape to create a window in white.  I colored my tulips with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  The leaves were also colored with pencils I used two tones of green on them.  Once the frame was made I took my colored image that I had cut out with scissors and craftknife carefully, before placing the framed layer to the card you first have to check where you will glue your image for a great effect, I decided to have the tulip go over the frame with part of a leaf so it looked more natural.  Permanently tacky glued it in position and made sure the tulips were also securely attached to the lavender CS.  I tried to add a bow to this card but it wasn't doing it justice so I kept it simple.

I hope this card inspired you today.  Thank you for visiting and come back soon, feel free to leave a comment on your way out. 

Have a marvelous creative day!
