Spring! My favorite time of year! The birds return, the flowers begin to bloom, and the mosquitoes have yet to appear! Tulips were the inspiration for today's card using a My Scrap Chick cutting file and Unity stamps.
This Tulip A2 card from My Scrap Chick is only $1.00, and it makes such a beautiful card! I used a stamp I got for free from Unity to stamp the butterfly and sentiment. The stamp set is called, "A Lovely Butterfly Day".
Here's a close up of the sentiment and butterfly:
And, I wanted you to be able to see those tulips up close. They are so pretty!
I used Ariana designer papers and cardstock from Close To My Heart. The crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM. I used some Stickles on the wood birds and butterfly-- also from Close To My Heart.
We're having a very late spring here in NW Wisconsin, not yet hitting 70 degrees. I have one tulip in my yard brave enough to bloom, so I included a picture of it for your enjoyment.
I'm linking this card up to Unity Friends With Flair.
Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteGreat paper pieced tulips, Julie. Lovely colors!

ReplyDeleteFlippin awesome tulips! Love this card. Ya done good!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tulips and I love the little birds! Also love how you stamped the sentiment over the butterfly, very cool looking! Sadly our mosquitoes didn't get the memo to stay away and I have already been bombarded with bites this spring.
ReplyDeleteLove your tulips, both card and garden. I lost many due to the severe ice storm this winter, so I will enjoy yours! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't you love the spring when being outside is a joy? Free of skeeters! Your tulips make spring time a reality, Julie. Paper pieced so beautifully and the one tulip from your yard…beautiful! Surely there are more to come. Have a happy day today!
ReplyDeleteSO pretty! I really need to learn to use my Silhouette! It's still in the box!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty--I like the papers you chose for the tulips and the glitter on the birds and butterfly.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card! I'm like Rebecca, not got round to learning the Silhouette yet but it will come!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog & leaving a little bit of love!
