Greetings everyone. This is a Tulip image from Fred She Said. It is just full of visual spring elements. I used Spellbinders Labels 4 and Labels Six. I stamped them with a Damask Stamp from Inkadinkadoo that I found on clearance last year at Micheal's for $3.99-it came with about 6 different ones I think. I stamped it with Versamagic Chalk Ink in Wheat. I also distressed my edges with Rangers Antique Linen Distress Ink.
The Punch Around the Page is the Corner Modern Garland and the Wing Modern Garland. The flourishes are a Sizzx die. I used cuttlebug Vintage dies for the corner.
The image was colored with Copics, the paper is from K & Company. The flowers are from the Bridal Section at Micheal's. I used some pearls in the corners and the Martha Stewart Branch Punch.
I was trying to tone down and cut back on the embellies....I don't think I have it in me. When I sat down to count the punches.......well I have a minimum of 74. That includes the inside of the card and the envelope I made which can be seen on my blog at www.chocolatecraftsandbearsohmy.blogspot.com. Plus there are 14 die cuts. Ha!!! I wonder why I go through so many "B" plates...lol
It took me about 4 hours to put this together.
Thanks for stopping by. I sure do appreciate it and your taking the time to leave me a comment. Have a great day!

Stunning as usual, Carol. Please don't tone down your style...it is the way that God made you! (clearly he made me pretty simple ;). I just love your artwork and how you get so many things to work so well together and how perfectly punched your borders always are. This is more like a gallery rather than a single card. TFS your gifts.

Four hours and 74 punchez!!! Bearzi, this is impossible for a human being to do. Are you one of those little green people from outer space? I need to get my surveillance cameras looking through your window pronto. It's a matter of national security. Either that, or you are an elf cuz you get some much done in so little time. Guess I'll have to investigate Santa for that one. But, seriously Carol, I keep thinking this is my favorite, but they are all my favorite. I could get lost in Bearzi land. Your details, colors, sparkles, diecuts, punchez - they are all bedazzling!! Can you tell I love it???? I feel like I'm in Bearziwood - like Dollywood!!! Love and TFS!
