Surrounded by Tulips

 I had an idea in mind for this card for a while... 

It's funny how things don't always work out as planned - this was one of those situations. 

The background was hot foiled with rainbow foil. I die cut all the tulip and leaf pieces, inked them and assembled the flowers. They were arranged around the edge of the card and I used Press 'n Seal to pick up all the pieces. They were adhered to the background and I added the stitched frame on top. After the flowers were in place, I thought I would lightly splatter the flowers with black paint - but I had to mask off the frame. In hindsight, I wish I had skipped the splatter - I think it makes the card look rather messy. The sentiment was added in the centre with foam tape. 

Enjoy,
