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!

So exqusite, Bearzi! How did I miss this yesterday!! What a dazzler of a card!! I zee The Fruitcake is on the job - I suppose you have the capability of hiding a lot spy equipment, within that lovely card! One's eye is so dazzled by the card - one can miss the the copious spy equipment -but I guess that's the idea!;)
Gorgeous ! Exquisite ! Amazing! Bearzi, you have done it again!

Dear Beautiful card and envelope,
I love looking at you! Just when I see one cool swirl or flower on you, my eyes spy another beautiful element. I heard that Bearzi tried to tone down the number of embellishments she added to you - oh, I can't imagine what else she could have added to you. I am sure she had to carry you to the Post Office in a wheel barrow as it is - due to the awesome layers that make you up. I love your sparkles and pearls, and everything else about you!
74! No wonder it took 4 hours - you probably had to rest in between the punchez! This is is wonderful my sweet friend!

Wow, this is just delightful, Bearzi!! It amazes me how many layers you manage to include--and everything harmonizes and blends seamlessly. And now I get "Bearziwood"!! That totally makes sense--and I can see why Pamzi coined it. Your creations really are bedazzling!!!!!!
