This is for the VSN Trip Around the World. We stop in Holland for Tricia’s challenge to use tulips. This gave me a chance to use an old favorite – Terrific Tulips two-step stamp set and a new favorite the Framed Tulips embossing folder. I’m trying to use up retired colors, and I wanted it to be bright and cheery, so I grabbed Regal Rose and Apricot Appeal for step one of the stamping and used current colors, Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo for the second step of creating the flowers & leaves. I added a little glitter for more pizzaz. Then I used the retired colored cardstock. I left off the sentiment, but allowed room just in case. It might become a birthday card. I do know that it will go to my SIL in the cold, barren wintertime to encourage her that Springtime is coming and she’ll see her tulips again soon. Thanks Tricia for a fun challenge! TFL
