Roses Are Red, But Tulips Are Cool Too

Please excuse me, but I've one more Valentine themed card to share.(I must be more timely with my posts.)

When one thinks of flowers this time of year, one thinks of roses, the traditional flowers of love. But I love tulips in February. They are the harbingers of spring! So despite all those decorators who scream "NO SILK FLOWERS!!", I like to put some red or pink silk tulips in a white pitcher for a pop of color and hope of spring.

And so, I chose tulips for this card.

I used Vintage Picnic for the focal point. I stamped the basket on kraft and then stamped it with Background Basics:Hearts. I colored the hearts and handles with a Prismacolor pencil. The tulips were also colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with baby oil. After cutting the basket, I attached it with dimensional tape. I stamped BB:Hearts on Lavendar Moon with Versmark. The card base is Raspberry Fizz.

This hello from the heart goesto Peggy from An Artful Journey.

We met through Flourishes and PTI. Although, Peggy lives in Florida now, she lived in Knoxville for many years. She was in town this weekend, so we met on Friday. I had a wonderful time getting to know her and talking stamping. Peggy,thank you so much for your thoughtful gift. I'm going to ink up the stamp this week, but I'm going to have to force myself not to hoard that gorgeous pearl flourish.

Thanks for stopping by,

Cammie
