A special request. It’s nice when family requests a handmade, personalized card for an occasion.
Sometimes though, you need a starting point after all your own ideas are not cutting it.
I turned to Create with Connie and Mary for my inspiration here –
It’s a unique sketch that I was drawn to. I felt that it would work for what I wanted to create. My vision.
So, combining a few requested elements, this is what I came up with –
Sort of quirky. Sort of spring-like. Really sweet.
Each tulip I hand punched three times from the Bird Builder Punch. Whew. Lots of punching! And, gluing.
Since the soft color of the Mint Macaron looked like grass – well, I fringed the top.
Hard to tell, but all the tulips are popped up on the Color Me Irresistible Specialty Paper. It comes with plain colorable sheets and already colored, embossed looking sheets. it was a nice added touch.
All in all, I liked how it turned out. We shall see if it’s approved! Because, it’s done!
