I have not entered a challenge for a long time but I got these tulip stamps and dies from PTI a few weeks ago. Of course, when you get a new toy you have to play so I made tulips in almost every shade of the rainbow and tucked them in a storage bag. I had some design team challenges where I used the Sue Wilson Just a Note and some greenery left over from my card class so when I looked at the samples of the PTI challenge I realized that what I had on hand would fit the challenge. The only thing I had to do to make the card was cut some frames. The background paper in from one of the PTI paper packs in Harvest gold. I will enter this in the PTI Make it Monday A-la-Carte challenge.
I chose Background Building With Frames with Amy Sheffer.

This frame technique is so becoming and I too,love to do it. I think adding the ferns to the tulips gives them a wintery feel. The color yellow brings out all of the sunshine. Good luck, I think this is a winner.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! I love the colors and the background frame design you made for those pretty tulips.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see that tulip stamp set I fall in love with it again. I LOVE the colors you have used here, just gorgeous. Great patterned paper for the background, and then the pine boughs are the perfect final touch. Gorgeous card and great design!
