Hello All!
My time as the guest designer at Just Us Girls has come to an end. I had so much fun with these gals. I felt so welcome and grateful to be a part of such a creative team. So without further ado here is my card for today, enjoy! |
| Tulip Time is a festival here in West Michigan. It celebrates Springtime with tulips throughout the town. It offers an entire spectrum of color that overloads the senses- that is only when they are in bloom. The locals often call Tulip Time, affectionately, Stem Time because there have been years where the tulips have already bloomed before the festival began. Such a bummer because it really is beautiful. |

My inspiration was the tulips and the coloring of the background.

| This layering set of tulips is from PTI. I think it is retired but not too sure. The edges of the card are distressed by brushing Twisted Citron, Stormy Sky, and Chipped Sapphire on the edges of the card. |

| I may have gotten a bit pearl crazy here, but I thought they would act as spring rain. Also, the leaves and stems are multicolored. That was done by inking the entire stamp with a light green ink then wisping flecks of dark ink on top. I like the texture it provides along with the flower. |
All the best,
It's been great seeing your cards for our challenges this month, Shawna. Each one of them have been absolutely wonderful. I love the inking you did around the edges of this card. I'll have to remember that color combo.
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous and it's been so fun to have you with us this month!!!!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful Shawna. So love that tulip and it's stunning colours. Super sprinkle of pearls. Thanks for being a fabulous Guest this month at JUGS.
ReplyDeleteLovely card to end the month! Thanks for joining us for the month of March - it was our pleasure.
ReplyDeleteShawna, You have been a delightful guest and you have left us with the most gorgeous card! I love your beautiful tulips and you have inked up the edges so perfectly! Makes it look a bit vintage but not if that makes any sense. I think I have to go check to see if they are in fact retired! You nailed the photo that is for sure! Take care!
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful Shawna! I love tulips and the colors you chose for these is just so pretty! (BTW, you cannot have too many pearls!) Thanks for being such a great JUGs guest this month! Hope to see you in the gallery in the future!
