Stef gave us such bold and beautiful colors this week, and I loved making this card!! Nothing like red tulips!! I added my favorite yellow for dessert which is Mango Melody, hands down!! This was an easy card, and I really love the way it turned out, AND, thanks to my good friend Amy Celona, she has me editing my own photos and adding my own watermark - might sound like not a big deal to most of you, but for me, it's a major accomplishment and I deserve a major award!! Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

Karen, this is just lovely, with the jar full of beautiful blooms and wrapped up with a bit of raffia! Your coloring is exquisite, as always, and the embossed background adds great texture.
I'm very proud of you for crossing this technical threshold, my friend! I think you will enjoy making your photos look just as you envision!

How beautiful! Those flowers look so lifelike, love the jar with just the hint of water in it, and that embossed background! Great job on the watermark, too!

I'm thrilled for you on editing your own pictures... now you can teach the rest of us... I love your card as always! Your beautiful coloring makes the flowers pop and most importantly look real! The embossed background in Very Vanilla is gorgeous! TFS

Tiny Tim never tiptoed through tulips this pretty (LOL)!!! I love red tulips as well- my hubby had quite a harvest this spring- I am liking the new greenery embossing folder - it created a nice background for your card
