Mary's style is very clean...and it ended up being a little too "clean" for me. I like a bit more texture and less white space, so I first added the Basket Weave background. I think it really adds to the card.
I also found the plain Granny Apple Green background a bit plain, so I stamped some of the Timeless Tulips stamps in Granny Apple Green after stamping off one time. It's a subtle difference, but makes it a little more interesting.
But what drew me to the original card was the tulip, layered on Whisper White squares - so pretty! And SO easy! Using the Tulip Builder Punch, I punched one of the flowers in Lovely Lipstick, and then punched 4 of the leaves--twice in Lovely Lipstick and twice in Granny Apple Green. Then the "leaves" are layered over the flower for more dimension, and also placed as leaves below the flower. Such a great idea!
A simple greeting (from Peaceful Moments) in Granny Apple Green, and placed over some Granny Apple Green Textured Weave ribbon finishes off this card perfectly!
I wanted to gift a customer with a little "sumthin' sumthin'" and thought this would be the perfect card. But I needed some gift packaging, so:
This was easy to create--a (ahem - retired) gift bag tied up with matching ribbon, and a tag on the front. Just a Stitched Rectangle with another tulip and stamped to match the card.
A pretty little gift, and my customer loved it!
