Flourishes Sneak Peek: Tulips

Hey everyone~

Welcome to day 1 of Flourishes' Release Week fun! Today, we have a bouquet that is ripe for the picking and these flowers have a bit of a spring flair! Are you ready for the first peek?

Introducing.....

A beautiful single tulip or a bouquet poised and ready to deliver to someone special - that's what you get with this gorgeous set -- Tulips for Friends --- illustrated by Marcella Hawley. Paired with six scripted sentiments, this set is perfect for all kinds of cards or creations for your friends! You'll want to stay tuned because we also have a Silhouette and SVG cut file to match this set! All sets and files will be available Friday so, you'll want to stick around and see what we have in store!

My card began with a 5-1/4" square Classic White card base.  I embossed the background with Spellbinders Regal M-Bossabilities Folder.  The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye's Notable collection.  I die-cut the image and sentiment with Spellbinders Splendid Circles die set.  I added a few light green rhinestones, a Lime Button, and a bit of Apple Green Velvet and Lace Trim.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Danube Blue ink.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it in with the following Copic Marker Collections:

I added a couple of strips of patterned paper, stamped the sentiment in Memento Danube Blue ink, and stamped the tulip image in Ranger Scattered Straw ink.
