Yes, I made a tent card for Margaretha. Maybe I'm getting over my fun fold f(ph)obia. I had already started this and then thought it might be fun to amp it up a bit more for her.
Why does Sizzix have the two 'z' but scissors has two 's'??? I need to know this.
Back to the card: To make the grass, I swiped the mowed lawn on white and cut the blades of grass with a scissors (scizzors) especially for that. I sponged the clouds on the inside with a Post-It and sponging tool. Cut the little flowers that might be tulips from dark green, red and yellow cs. The only stamp I used is on the back of the base.
A lady across the street from me is probably 103 by now. I haven't seen her in a long time but I know she's still there because her son lives down the street and he and his wife visit often and take care of the house. I don't know if I want to live that long but, hey, if you're pretty functional and enjoy life, why not???

Love all the texture on your card, it makes it so fun. Thank you for pllaying along. PS I don't have an answer for the double s/double z question. If you ever get an answer please let me know!!

What a cool way to incorporate that wreath element of Jacqueline's! And your little tulips tucked in the grass are oh so creative! I'm not sure about 103 either....only if SCS is still around...HA!

I think Margaretha will greatly enjoy this pretty scene you've created with the birds and branches as well as the tulips peeking through the grass.

Ha, even when I go to spell those two words, I always have to stop and think s or z?, lol. Love everything you have got on here. The birds and tulips and grass and that dreamy sky!

First of all, your card is gorgeous!! love the fun design with the tiny tulips at the bottom and love you've made a tent card!! wow!! about the age...I really don't know if I would be able to reach that age and if it happens, I hope to be able to come back here and tell you about it...
2 z for Sizzix I think it's just because it's a name, a brand...
