TULIPS - TAKE 2

Hi Everyone

Happy Saturday.

Hasn't it been a brilliant day?  A foggy start but once the sun forced its way through it was glorious.

A quick share today which is the pastel version of yesterday's tulip card all painted with distress inks.

I think I prefer the pastel version .. .. well I do today anyway LOL!!!





This used:

Image:  Imagination Crafts"Tulip"
Sentiment:  Lili of the Valley
Backing papers:  Pink Petticoat
Nestabilities
Distress Inks
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Martha Stewart Punch:  Traditional Scallop
White and Blue Embossing Powder
My Trust Sewing Machine
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon from the Stash Box


 .. .. ..  and that is me for today!!

Did I get my lie in this morning?  Well I did a "little" better than normal .. .. but wasn't helped by the fact that my lovely hubby was the one that wanted to get up bright and early today .. .. normally it is the other way round.  LOL!!!

Have a lovely evening everyone and a great Sunday.

Love

    Hi Jules, beautiful card and I think I have to agree - pastels are pretty :) It's been an absolutely fabulous day up here today, wall-to-wall sunshine and no fog. Tomorrow promises more of the same so we are taking a trip out. Glad you got a bit of a lie-in this morning - wonder if your hubby will be quite so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed tomorrow when the clocks have gone forward :)) Elizabeth x

    It's amazing how one stamp can look so different! I love the pastel colours, so springlike.

    I hope you're recovering from a very busy few days!

    love Mags B x

    Yep, pastel version is better, but only slightly because they are both your usual stunning work! You've chosen gorgeous colours for the image and I love the way you've coloured the tulips. Really gorgeous Jules xx

    Jules, what a gorgeous stamp - I don't stamp nearly as much as I would like to - but its nice to appreciate someone else's stamping. Love that DP from Pink Petticoat - I have almost everything Liz has done, with only a few exceptions, always looks fresh - and your card showcases it, and the stamp, very well.
