I Love Tulips

 Happy Spring!

I am joining for the first time a Retro Rubber Challenge, doing #226 which is all about Spring and our  favorite flowers. 

It was difficult to decide between lilacs, daffodills and tulips, but tulips won out. Here is my card:

The tulip stamp is by Rubber Stampede, a wooden one I have had for many years, I bet 10 or so and never used. I catelogue my stamps in Evernote but the year bought is not mentioned. 

My card is a top folding A2 card made with SU Basic Black cardstock. I embossed it with a retired folder called Framed Tulips which does not show well in my picture. I should have snapped a close-up. Sorry.

After stamping the image in Memento Tuxedo Black, I colored it with SU Blend markers in Pink Piourette and regular markers in Cucumber Crush and Soft Suede. I have not colored anything in ages, so it was fun to do this.

The greeting is from the Taylored Expressions set called Simple Strips. There are several friends who have birthdays soon and it is Spring! I am also adding this post to NBUS #60.

A windy but lovely day here in Minnesota with fluffy clouds and blue sky. I sure love that the trees are budding, a sure sign of Spring.

 

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again.  ⚘⚘⚘
