Spring tulips

Good Morning everyone

Spring flowers - i can't decide which is my fav as when the snowdrops come out in January they bring promise with them then we head into the cheerful yellow daffodils which brighten up a grey wet spring here in Cornwall where they often grow wild in the hedgerows and then comes the vibrancy of tulips...basically i love them all and grow them all in my little garden. 

I used this lovely little tulip in wellies die and teamed it with pastel polka dot papers....not often i go for pastel shades

5.5x6" green cardbase.  I first die cut my tulips/wellies from polka dot papers & the green card and paper pieced together.  Just adding a little shading around the wellies with a grey alcohol marker.

I die cut a border edge die from the front edge of my base card.  I then cut layers using the same die from pastel polka dot papers, you only need it deep enough to slot under the one above so only need a small stripe of the papers, i then die cut a white panel with the same die, added foam tape and adhered it to the card front leaving a little of the green base card showing at the top edge.

I added a strip across the middle of the card using the same papers/colours.  Die cut a white circle and green circle to fit the wellies and attached to the card base and then added my tulip wellies with glue gel.  Stamped sentiment to finish.

Just a close up of the tulips wellies.

As i had left over tulips and wellies from die cutting in the different colours i used them all up, so this is version 2.  On this one you can see the card closed shut, i added a little strip of the polka dots to the inside back edge so you can see it when the card is closed - when its stood up open you just see the green shaped edge as shown on the first photo above....hope that makes sense😀
