Tulips are Red..........




Hello everyone: I hope you and your family are doing well, I know it's hard to stay indoors and observe all the guidelines that seem so restrictive, but we must remember it's for our own safety and well being and also, to help the amazing caregivers out there who are in the front lines caring for the sick, we help them by staying inside.

THE FLOWER CHALLENGE has a new one for you for the month of May and it's fun and, I think, easy to play with, MONOCHROME so you can choose any color for your images, white, black and cream are also allowed.
This is my card and I hope it inspires you to come and play along.


This is an image from an old Flourishes set called "Tulips for Friends", stamped with Versafine black ink, clear heat embossed it and colored with my still juicy Stampin' Up! Real Red and Basic Black markers. I added some Rhine Stones to the pitcher for a bit of bling.
Some twine for the bow, the sentiment is from the Tulips stamp set and was die cut with the Spellbinders "Hemstitch Squares", (nbus), pattern paper from stash.

*******************************************************
This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.


The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called "Sassy Succulents", the tulip from the "Tulips for Friends" set.

I hope you come and play along with us at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE, remember to read our rules and to make Flowers the main focus on your cards.
Visit our blog to get more inspiration from the rest of the awesome DT.

Thank you for stopping by today.
Stay healthy, safe and keep on crafting.
Hugs.
Maria.
