Birthday Tulips

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using Mary Jo's Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge.

First let me apologize for the quality of my picture, I have tried for two days to get a good picture of this card, don't know what it is about this card but I can not get a nice picture.

It looks so dull in the picture but IRL it is pretty and bright.

I wanted to make some fun tulips since it is so close to spring, in fact my tulips are up and my daffodils are blooming, way early but that is the kind of weather we all have been having lately, nothing like the norm.

I pulled out some retired paper this is from the Stampin Up Sweet Slumber Speciality pack.

I used the wing from the bird punch to make my tulips. The leaves are made with the blossom builder punch, I punched out a large leaf and then trimmed it down to make my leaves.

I did vary the sketch just a bit, I have the bottom strip behind my main panel instead of going over it like in the sketch.

I used the petite pairs stamp set for my sentiment and added a small button with a silver brad through it to the edge of the circle sentiment piece.

I used some silver brads in the corners and some 1/8 inch taffeta ribbon across the bottom of the main piece.

The base of the card is crumb cake card stock and the matting behind the main panel is riding hood red and the leaves are always artichoke.

Thanks for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!
