These tulips are heading off to Winnipeg, which is where my SIL is from, though she lives in Toronto now. When I saw the challenge I thought I had no stamps - then I saw Lorraine's sweet card and remembered I had that one - and then I remembered these. I always find them hard to use on a card; cut out and in a vase they are much prettier . I'd have liked to use a photo as I have NO shortage of tulip photos, but after cheating with the guitar last week I thought I'd be properly paper-crafty today.
Simple card as it's been a busy day; 5 3/4" white base. I drew a silver line /4" in from all the edges and added silver Stickles along it without being too fussy.
Lacy Square is cute from MME Bloom and Grow, and also has silver Stickles added freely along the lace edge. Vase is punched from some printed origami paper. Tulips and butterfly were coloured with markers, stamped and cut out, then layered up a bit with foam.
I'm afraid every last brownie got eaten up over the weekend so there are none to bring along to the tea-party, but you're all welcome to a slice of the chocolate refrigerator cake that I am going to make tomorrow .

That's a gorgeous vase for those wonderful tulips. I love the sparkly accents, especially the fine border line. Such a great way to feature that vase with that background. And I love the placement of the butterfly. Such a great composition.
