Finally getting back into the swing of things. I got this iris folded tulip half finished last week so decided to use it this week for my challenge entry. Right at this moment my most favourite thing is this die-cut greeting from Creative Expressions Sue Wilson. I think I use it 3 out of 4 times. LOL The background embossing was a gift from (as Noofy Jr. says..) one of my imaginary friends from the internet! (He thinks he is funny! ) I even used a very OLD paper crimper to make the leaves and an even older $1.50 stamp from Mikes! The line sticker outlining the flower is from Starform and the butterflys and lady bug are from the $tore!!

Beautiful iris fold on your tulip, Sue, and beautifully outlined too! Your embossed bg is Gorgeous, even though it's from an imaginary friend! Your die-cut greeting has a really pretty font~

It's nice to see that other people have their favourite sentiments, dies etc. that sit on the desk just begging to be used again and again. I admire your patience with the iris fold tulip and the way you have outlined it with gold. That embossed white background is beautiful too.

What a fun card and so many elements to take in. - Beautiful iris folding and great script on your die cut - I like that too! My fav is the addition of that little lady bug - just plain sweet.
