Life is So Much Better with Tulips

Happy first day of February and, happy Three Post Thursday!

My first post is for Create with Connie and Mary and our newest challenge. A color challenge –

‘Lovely’ colors! Perfect for expressing love!

When I saw these colors, I thought of the massive tulip fields I’ve seen in Holland. I decided to use the hostess set, Tranquil Tulips, as a starting point for my card.

I stamped the tulips in the colors of the challenge, then fussy cut them out.

Then they sat there. It happens, right? After several ‘arrangement options’, I settled on this –And, I LOVED IT!!!!

My card base is one of my favorites this year, the Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes in Calypso Coral. I then layered with Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White and these beautiful tulips!

The sentiment was stamped. At that point, the card needed something else. I added the tiny dotted stamp from the Tranquil Tulips – that looked like a heart – randomly on the card. That was it. That was what the card needed!

I hope I have inspired you to play with these colors and submit a card to our Facebook page. Additional card samples from our Design Team can been seen on our blog. Check us out!
