Lovely bouquet of Tulips Mary, these flowers are the best indicator that warmer weather is on it’s way, mine are already peeking out of the ground, it always amazes me how they endure the harsh Winter and year after year, they come out beautiful and strong.
I always love the look of stamped images on Kraft paper or, in this case, Crumb Cake, somehow the inks take shades very different than the original colors, so beautifully.
Thank you for sharing.

Maria.
Wishing you oodles more spring, Maria!
beautiful tulips cards!
Thank you, Ivana.
This is “one fabulous” looking card Mary. Favorite part is the amazing looking sentiment.
Thanks, Kadie . . . I love the addition of the Old Olive Dot for a pop of color and coordination!
Good Monday Morning, Mary,
Love these tulips. I have them but they have not been inked up as yet. I like the colors on the crumb cake cardstock. The saying is the best!
🙂
Time to ink them up, Nancy. Thanks for your visit!
I love the pretty Calypso Coral tulips on the Crumb Cake base, Mary. Great job! Enjoy your day!
Your comments mean so much, HJ. Thanks!
What a beautiful card and “tranquil” is exactly the right description. I love the crumb cake paper as the background. Well done, Mary!
Thanks, Karren. I think Crumb Cake gives a soft, vintage feel when stamped!
Such beautiful simplicity! I love the flowers stamped on Crumb Cake. Lovely card, Mary!
Thanks, BK. This card was so easy and fun to 2-step stamp!
I’m loving this stamp set. Made it into Easter cards. Hope the basketweave folder is added to the new catalog. Love to have it. Happy Easter, Mary!
The basket weave embossing folder WILL be carried in the annual catalog. There’s a note on the Sale-A-Bration flyer. Hooray, Dorothy!
