    Such a creative take on the sketch and wow what a beautiful card. Love the stamping of those beautiful tulips, the colours you've used and the texture from the card stock. One eye catching card x.

    Those are some beautiful tulips, Michele! Wowza. And your take on the sketch is fabulous. I really like the texture you get with the embossing folder. And schwoop is perfection. So cheerful and spring-y!

    Like I said. I think these would look great paired with my regular tulips for a whole garden of them, Michele. I didn't see the dotted die on IG but now I get it.

    What a cool sketch and I am totally loving your take on it Michele! That die is very cool too, I love how it splits the card in half giving it such a cool look. Then there are those parrot tulips-omgosh, they are beautiful! The last two days have certainly been spring like and I'm sad to see them leave tonight. Oh well, was nice while it lasted and hopefully spring will be back soon. Hugs, Brenda

    Fantastic solution, Michele! The smooth panel is perfect of the gorgeous and bright red tulips and the textured panel adds so much interest. Beautiful contrast!
