I nearly didn't upload this card as so many of us chose the beautiful tulips on this postcard as our inspiration, and I thought everyone would be fed up of seeing tulips made with the punched bird wings lol! But hey, I like it, so I uploaded it after all!
Plus, I used a new technique (to me) of partial embossing with an embossing folder, and am so pleased I managed it (after a few attempts)!
The tulips are, of course, using the punched bird wings - I got my bird punch last week so am playing with it lots! I shaped the petals using a pencil and mousemat, just so they curved a bit like real tulips do, and sponged the edges. The stems are a;lso from the bird punch, and the leaves are made from a punched oval.
The ribbon is from my wonderful Big Sis - I'm taking part in the Divine Secret Siblings and having a wonderful time! I've yet to find out who my Big Sis is - I think the reveal is at the end of May. Can't wait!
Thanks so much for popping by!
