Come join us at the Fred She Said Blog for our Spring Challenge. This is an digi image from Tracey called Tulip Bouquet. I just love this image. I layered it and used crystal effects on the picture holding the tulips to give it a porcelain effect.
My PUNCHKATEER sisters will appreciate the fact that I used one of the Martha Stewart around the paper punches for the background and ran it through my cuttlebug with a basket-weave embossing folder. I also used a cuttlebug die cut for the corners.
Rangers China Blue distress ink was sponged around my card. I used a recollection blue rhinestone flourish that I picked up a Micheal's and some pretty blue polka-dot ribbon. In the background you can see my matching envelope made from a Priscillastyes 6 x 6 kit.
Thanks for looking. I always look forward to and appreciate your comments.

Ohhh...it's just beautiful. Flowers are one of my favorite things. You did such a great job of coloring and that basket weave embossing folder was just the right touch.

Yup, your Punchkateer sisterz will raise their punchez high for this beauty Bearzi. (FYI, I don't have that punch. Or that CB folder. I will be waiting by the mailbox. Remember the rulez.) Love your beautiful creation - those tulips are gorgeous as is that fabulous flourish. Great work!

Ooo, these colors are so yummy!! I love how you popped up some of the tulips--that adds so much depth. And hey--I recognize that background DP!! I have that stack, too And, of course, how could I *not* love that punch-around-the-page panel. Lovely, lovely work, Carol!
