Before we left home for our trip to Europe I was determined to put my new Penny Black Tulip Bloom to use. I'm posting from my brother's in the Hudson Valley tonight. We'll drive to JFK tomorrow to fly to Amsterdam, and my post is just in time to enter the card in The Flower Challenge: Spring Colors which closes in about an hour. It was also inspired by the Double D Challenge: Springtime Flowers. I have some birthday cards to share as well, but I'm not sure I'll get them posted while we're gone.
I kept the design clean and simple, and used another new product, Pinkfresh Studio's Scalloped Grid which I cut down for a smaller panel. The tulip was cut from cardstock scraps and ink blended with some red ink which, sadly, does not show well in the photograph.
The sentiment was foiled in gold with the Pinkfresh Here for You sentiments.
In addition to The Flower Challenge and the Double D Challenge, I'm sending this off to A Cut Above--it's my last of three entries for April.
My post for the May 1 Color Hues Challenge is ready to post, so be sure to stop by for that!
