Spring Tulips

Tosha has been the CCEE Stampers' challenge hostess for the month of March.  She has been inspiring us with all kinds of beautiful inspiration photos, and I think this last one was my favorite.  I just love these pretty pastel cookies and wished I could reach in and grab one to eat!!!   I was so inspired by the pretty colors, which immediately made me think of a spring bouquet of my favorite flower:  tulips!  I even found some retired SU Mint Melody in my stash!  I used the flower pot pocket card tutorial on SCS for my card.

Here's another photo showing the inside of the pull-out panel.  I love this Well-Scripted sentiment set by Stampin' Up!

I used the Stampin' Up heart punch to create my tulips, as well as smaller heart punches for the center of the tulips.  On some of the centers, I used one of the boho blossoms punch to create the edging.  For the leaves, I cut my cardstock (about 2" x 1"), scored and folded in half, cut out leaf shape, and sponged edges.

I know my gardening friend will love this for her birthday!
