Framed Tulips


Hi, this is my second guest design team card for Addicted to Stamps & More
The theme this week is Clean & Simple.

I'd like to thank the talented crew at ATSM for their inspiration and for making me feel so welcome, it was a lot of fun.

These tulips were stamped with smokey grey Versafine ink and coloured with Inktense pencils. I fussy cut them, cut and repositioned 1 flower head and added a few more leaves to fill the frame.

I'm also going to link up with the snippets challenge at Pixie's Crafty Workshop. The gold metallic paper in the frame is a snippet from another project. Waste not want not!

At The Card Concept it's a floral theme, and this card fits the Clean and Simple guidelines.Here is the gorgeous inspiration pic.


The theme at Make it Monday is always anything goes and to share creativity.
At Allsorts Challenge Blog the theme is Ladies Day.

Materials used: Technique Tuesday stamp; Intense pencils; Spellbinders rectangle dies; sentiment sticker from stash.

Thanks for visiting :)
