Spring and Tulips

 Morning and our new challenge at Stamping Sensation, chosen by me is "Spring" with 2 prizes of stamps and stencil from Sweet Poppy. I made this card for Daughter Helen whose birthday it is tomorrow.

I used a Tulip stamp from Sweet Poppy coloured with promarkers, fussy cut the flowers and glued onto a Spellbinders die-cut which I also added on 3D foam pads. I stamped the tulip heads again, put onto 3D foam pads and slightly offset to make the flowers look fuller. The P, papers are from Stampin Up, sentiment stamp from Penny Black and  finally used some ribbon from stash.


Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

  49. Carol, this card is simply tulip tastic! 🌷 The bright yellows and soft pink really pop against that pretty background and the layered oval gives it such a lovely elegant frame. And that sweet bow at the bottom ties it all together beautifully. It feels like a little bouquet that will never wilt. So cheerful and perfect for a birthday smile 😊 We are so glad you shared this with us at Ally's Angels and hope to see you showcasing more of your fabulous work in the gallery again soon ❤️
