This one is for my mom. Being Dutch we all love tulips so she had to have a card with a tulip. I made this for the Our Daily Bread Designs sketch challenge.
The image in the circle is one of the adorable Tildy images. I only have a few but I like using them, they are fun to color and/or paper piece. I did both with her. It is difficult to tell but the tulip was stamped and colored twice, the second one was popped up. The sentiment is from an old SU stamp set.

My family immigrated to the USA when I was 8 years old. The Dutch is still in my though! This is the card I will give to my mother on Mother's Day. She has had several strokes and is in the early stages of Alzheimer's but does still have the love of tulips. In fact she is remembering more in Dutch than in English. I made this card for the StampTV color challenge which was to use blue, red and yellow. It is also for the Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge #35 which was to use flowers. And, last but not least, it was for the Flutter By Wednesday challenge which I just discovered! The polka dot paper is from the October Afternoon paper pack called Report Card. I cut out some of the tulip petals and popped them up to give them some dimension. Thanks for stopping by on this rainy day.
This was a fun card to make because it just came together. Last night I had a hard time sleeping (brain just won't slow down sometimes) and just started thinking of what cards I wanted to make for challenges. I knew that this sketch challenge was due today on StampTV so I was thinking about that. This card came to me and today I just had to find the colors and work it. I also had to run to JoAnne's today for a quick errand and found the Spellbinder's border die there. What a NICE surprise it was to see that they sell some of them now. I knew that this card needed it. So this is the final. The card base is Gina's Green Apple card stock and the rest is from SU. I added the pearls to give it a little sparkle. There was a bit of cutting but I don't mind that. Thanks for looking!
