Spring Tulips

Hello All, 

For today I will be playing along with The Paper Players and Freshly Made SketchesThis is a simple Mother's Day displaying the beloved Spring flower, the tulip. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

The theme April Showers is referenced by the fresh green colors and white space of the card. After a good rain, you can smell the scent of Spring and everything seems brighter and fresher than before.

The tulips are from a layering die set that sits on a fresh green background. The tulips are arranged at different levels. This caused me to cut down some of the flowers to fit the confines of the background. I think eliminating the bottom of the tulips makes for a nice design element.

Again keeping it simple and light with a Mother's Day sentiment strip.

Entering Challenges:

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. Lots of good crafting vibes are headed your way. I hope you all have a fantastic day and please stay safe and healthy.

All the best,

Your card is a beautiful tribute to spring, Shawna! I agree, showing the tops of the tulips is a great design element. I love the gorgeous detail on the tulips, and the fresh green of the inked background. Thanks so much for joining us this week at The Paper Players!
