Retro Tulip Sympathy Card

365 Cards has this lovely photo as their Ad Inspired challenge and I immediately thought of the Jane Beljio Retro Tulip. I printed the digital tulip on a fun dandelion poem that my blogging friend Karen created. Originally I was thinking I'd do something black and white like the photo (b/c I have literal issues), but when I went to see what the current Squigglefly Challenge was it was for brown & cream sympathy card, since I already had cream going, I figured I'd work some brown into it. Tiffany Doodles is celebrating flowers all month long, so I'll add this to their current challenge. Sentimental Sundays is having an anything goes week, so here's another card for that challenge.

Materials: Jane Beljio Digital Retro Tulips, PTI sentiment, Karen Baker digital dandelion poem background, Stampin Up Chocolate Chip Designer papers, Fiskars tag punch, cream twine, Stampin Up black ink, Stampin Up green watercolor pencils and blender pen

Truly

This colorful card is based on the Unscripted Sketches sketch. It uses the rest of the Hero Arts digital sentiment I printed this morning for this card. Love when the scraps on the table become something of their own. The orange background paper is construction paper from my son's art project (b/c of course he wants to join me at my craft table while I'm making cards). The yellow paper is from a trip to Thailand in 2003, so yes ladies I am trying to use up some my fairly decent size stash. The tulip is from Squigglely, which is having a challenge on their blog to use that particular digital image.

Materials: Orange construction paper, Thai handmade paper, Yellow card stock from Spotlight, Hero Arts digital friendship sentiment, white card stock, Digital Squigglely Tullip colored with water colors
