Ran the dk purple cs through the CB with the Leafy Branch ef. Cut it in half and adhered to beige cs as shown. Added DP that was cut with SB die. Stamped image and coloured with prismacolour pencils & blended with gamsol. Cut around image and used black distress ink around edges to hide any oops! Used versamark pen to colour all the flowers and the heart. Added ep and heat. Mounted on DP with pop dots. Added Stickles for some added glam.
Stamped sentiment and cut out with SB die. Distressed edges and mounted on pop dot.
Thanks to everyone participating in this week's challenge. I will cruise through the gallery over the next week and comment. If you chose to send your card to my grandmother, thank you from her, my family and myself! My family is all very touched that strangers would send cards to someone they don't know but they sure lift my grandmother's spirits (I had a previous request posted that a number of people responded to). She doesn't know about this so she's going to be so surprised! tfl

This is a gorgeous card! I bet this will have a place of honor on one of her tables where everyone can see it! I love all your details.

Charlene, I struggled looking for tulips. Now you remind me that I have this same image, Popcorn Bear. But I would never have done it justice as you have. So cute!
