This is for the Teapot Tuesday challenge. We were to bring tulips, roses or cats to the tea party. I chose to bring tulips. I found this great tutorial by Beate Johns Blogs at Splitcoaststampers I couldn't find a place for a kitty. I made my tulips with the Spellbinders small oval die & the leaves were Sizzix.
This card will be going to Denise who's an artist and loves to paint. She is recently having health issues, mainly from a hip replacement she had done a few years back.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Your card reminds me of the first time I met my Mother in law. I bought some lovely tulips and trimmed the stems and tied them with a green ribbon, just like your card! So I must put this into my favorites!!! Denise is sure to love this too!!!
