Daffodils for Mother

This week's colors for the Splitcoast Color Challenge are so bright and cheerful - Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango and Old Olive - they look like the tulips that I got as an Easter gift.  And the dessert is option is spring flowers...so this card came together easily!!

I stamped the tulips twice, cut out the front-most petals, slightly curled them and glued them back. Then I added a dab or Rock Candy distress stickles on the stamen.

    How clever with the petals ... I am glad you told us ... cos it is a little hard to see even in the close up! Love the bright feel to this one! Hugs xxx

    Just gorgeous, Kim! Your shading is absolutely stunning on those flowers and the extra dimension on the petals is a beautiful touch. The little spot of baker's twine is such a sweet touch. Hope you had a fun Easter weekend! Hugs! :)

    Love the tulips and the coloring. AND, thank you for the Copic charts. I'm a huge Stampin' Up fan and have recently started using copic markers. What a big help this is.
