Here I go again, combining challenges, but there's so many I want to do and so little time! The Color Challenge is to use Concord Crush, Ivory and Crumb Cake with a dessert option of NO dp. I used an EF on the Vanilla panel for my BG. For the Teapot Tuesday Challenge, we are to bring tulips to the party...I did. The ODBD Shining the Light Challenge is to do NO coloring. We could sponge a BG but NO coloring. I sponged the BG, making it slightly darker in the corners where the flowers would be. I embossed with Gold EP. Thanks for taking a peek!

Your card is just lovely. It looks so soft and elegant. I didn't think I liked that tulip border, but now......... Beautiful card. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

I was wishing I had that tulip corner stamp when I read the challenge this morning . Great work on the no colouring, too - it certainly makes for a very classy card with all that gold and purple.

OMGoodness . . . this is stunning. The colours are gorgeous, those gold tulips are drop-dead gorgeous! Absolutely love everything about it. Going into favs. CarrollAnn, I just noticed in the thread that you are sending this to my grandmother (I didn't want to presume but I'm soooooo happy that you are!) She will love, love, love your card! Thank you so much for buying that 75 cent stamp
