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!!!

I love the way you've framed this up, and the dry embossing is gorgeous!! You can never go wrong with a jar or vase of flowers of any kind. Congrats on your water mark - I don't excel with computer things, so I know what an achievement this can be. :>)

Yay for your accomplishment! My youngest DS taught me how to watermark my cards. Your tulips look like velvet, Karen, love the little white dots you added to them and Beautiful texture in the bg too~

This is a beauty! I love the 3-D effect the raised elements give to your card. The use of an embossing folder really add a nice bit of texture. I often struggle with using raffia/twine/ribbon or anything that you tie into a bow. I really appreciate that you added the raffia. Nice job!
