musical tulips

Seize the Birthday #280-Spring Floral is the theme challenge right now and I had almost forgotten until the reminder arrived. For the longest time, I have been wanting to try my hand at making tulips from paper, and I decided now was my chance to give it a go. I took a scrap piece of music die cut 3 circles using a Hero Arts set and then inked the edges of them front and back with Worn Lipstick ink. I folded them as suggested in something found on Pinterest and what you see here is the result. Using a flourish die and a scrap piece of green CS I cut the flourish. It is quite big so I cut it down some to make it fit on my card front. Using the same CS I die cut some small hearts using a Memory Box set and added them at the bases of the flowers then I added the flowers to the flourish. This flourish die is an old one and acquired before I had sense enough to keep the brands and names of my products, but it is most likely from Sissix or Spellbinders. To finish the card I added a slightly curved sentiment (from Kokorosa) in two places and some pearls from my stash.

I hope the earthquake felt by some of you is now just a memory but someone did mention an after shock. We live in an earthquake zone and it is often mentioned on the news as being a possibility here. I think we are less vulnerable in our current location, than we have been prior to moving here, but we are still insured for it just in case.

Thanks for spending some of your valuable time with me, it is appreciated.

  1. Love your paper Tulips, Johanna! I think what is exceptionally cool is that they are made from Musical paper. I also like how you wrapped the sentiments into your design. Thanks for playing at Seize the Birthday!
