Is it Spring Yet?

We've had a very mild winter (knock on wood) this year, yet still I long for Spring to be here! I was happy that Joanne wanted us to create a Spring card for our CCEE Stampers challenge this week! Actually, JoJo specifically said we were to make a Spring scene.  I didn't quite create a "scene" per se', but tulips happen to be my favorite flower and they scream "SPRING!" to me.  Imagine a whole garden of these beauties!



I water colored my tulip and then added a touch of lavender glue glitter to the bulb.  I separated the oval panels with dimensionals for depth.

Supplies I used:
Stamps: Tulips
Paper: Soft Sky, Whisper White
Ink: Soft Sky, Lavender Lace, Dusty Concord
Accessories: oval Nestabilities, tulips embossed frame folder, sponge dauber, ribbon, glitter glue, dimensionals

Be sure to swing by the CCEE Stampers blog to see what the team has created.  Perhaps you'd like to join us in our challenge!

    What gorgeous framing, Charlene - perfect for displaying your tulip. I'm not so fond of the parrot ones and those desperately frilly ones, but these simple, elegant ones I do love. They're one of the first flowers I can remembering having in my own little garden plot when I was a child.

    Oh, this card is like a breath of spring! Beautiful colors and design. Love it.
    I can't wait for spring either Charlene... there's nothing like the having longer days and the beauty of nature awakening as spring arrives.

    Love the framing of your gorgeous tulip Charlene! I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can see the first tulip pop through the ground! Fabulous color combo too!

    Springtime Sha-ZZAAM!
    Oh what an elegant tulip presentation! You're not even aware of the difficulty I'm having in 'not' ordering some of these goodies. You shall now have another nickname ... that of "enabler". LOL
