I just love this stamp and have been dying to use it. It was given to me by one of my dearest fellow stampers.
It is all one stamp with the flowers and wonderful sentiment. The nice thing is you can use the flower on its own if you like and use another sentiment.
I know it's weird, but I LOVE that the tulips are wrapped in newspaper (per the image), so I matched it with some dp with print in the middle of the circles to coordinate with the newspaper wrap.
I added crystal effects to the flowers (lightly sprinkled with dazzling diamonds) and to the newspaper and some random micro gems. Added the beautiful matching ribbon as a topper.
It feels so good to make a card and upload again. I hope to make more soon, but it's hard to tell with life sometimes.
I will be giving this card to the fellow stamper who gave me this stamp as she is the true essence of love and kindness. And, isn't that why we make cards - to share a piece of ourselves with others.
Gosh, I'm philosophical today and it's not even Sunday!! (HA!)
TFL and have a great weekend.

Oh, I love this, Pamzi. The tulips, of course, are my favorite flower and I do love they are wrapped in newspaper, too. The bit of sparkle on the tulips looks great. What a beautiful card you've created. Glad to see you upload today. Have a great weekend.

I can't believe I never saw this. I've been looking for your uploads, too. Beautifully colored, Fruitcake. You've got a great talent for that. Lovely with the pink trim, too. Hope you are well.

Oh, sweet Pam, I've been thinking about you, sweet friend, and I decided to check your gallery. And like Anne said, how did I miss this one? I love it and love this image too. You've made a beautiful card with it too, and I agree that the newsprint in the dots are adorable and match the newspaper that wraps the tulips - how precious! And that ribbon is the piece de resistance! I LOVE it!! You are so dear and never forgotten - and always LOVED!! Big hugs, sweet friend! xoxo
