Splitcoast Sketch Challenge


I made this card for the Splitcoast Stampers weekly sketch challenge. I kind of flipped it on its side. One again I used my Terrific Tulips set. This was fun to make!
Here is the recipe:
Stamps: Linen, Terrific Tulips, Rhona Farrer Swirls
Ink: Certainly Celery, Rose Red
Paper: Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Whisper White
Other: Celery grosgrain ribbon, pearl stickers
Thanks for looking!

Tulips!


I can't believe I have had the Terrific Tulips set for over a year and I am just discovering how much fun it is! I mounted it less than a week ago. It is a free set that I received for being on the SU panel. What awesome perks! I have been trying to do more simple cards lately. I think I like the look of this one.
Here is the recipe:
Stamps: Terrific Tulips, Warm Words, Rhona Farrer Swirls
Ink: Certainly Celery, Rose Red
Paper: Whisper White
Ribbon: May Arts
Have a great day!

Is it spring yet? It is this time every year when I get so jumpy and figidy- almost spring!
I bought a dress for Easter that is brown with green tulips. I know it doesn't sound pretty, but I promise it is. It inspired me to make these cards. I was hoping to go with a bright green, but I ended up with Blue Bayou. Go figure!
Here is the recipe:
Stamps: Terrific Tulips, Sincere Salutations
Ink: versamark clear embossing
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Blue Bayou
Other: White embossing powder, heat tool, mat pack, bayou ribbon, pastels-teal
Have a great day!
