Joan Ervin challenged our Double Dare Challenge group to make a card with a basket and some plaid on our card. I bought this basket of tulips stamp at Shipshewana one year and it has no designer name on it. I colored my tulips with the following SU markers: barely banana with apricot appeal for shading; pretty in pink with regal rose for shading; and mellow moss with always artichoke for shading. I then covered them with crystal effects for a bit of shine.
I used Ranger distress stickles for the sandy dirt on the ground and the dirt in the basket.
TFL!

This is so beautiful Charlene.. I love the CE on the flowers... thanks for reminding me to pull mine out and use it sometime..
And your sand is great. I have some cool sand stuff that is real sand, but dries and is flexible... A friend got it for me from muddpuddles at a scrapbooking Expo. hmmm... I'll have to figure out how to send some to you.. It is really cool stuff!

What a fabulous piece of plaid ribbon! So Spring-y to go with the basket of tulips! I love your coloring, and the CE is so shiny! Love the sentiment with the MS branches of leaves. You really did a great job on this challenge....again!!
