A clean and simple card for today's sketch challenge using a popped up, sponged tulip image from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps - and a favourite colour combo of blue and orange. The flower was stamped three times and popped up in different layers. When using this method, I find going around the edges (not on the image itself) of the cut layers with the edge of a black marker gives more definition. This is also for this week's CASology challenge:Hexagons - the two bg panels in the sketch are embossed with little hexagons.

Makes me think of Mat 6:25-34 where it speaks of God clothing the fields with flowers...such an incredible God we serve!
Love your orange tulip against the beautiful blue and the crisp white behind it all!

Since I'm from California, I'm going to say this is a California poppy. This is Beautiful, Bridget!! This beautiful blossom has the coloring of our state flower!
