tulipssssssssssssss from amsterdammmmmmmmmm..

yesterdayevening i made this spring card.. owww i am sooooo ready for spring.. but it is still cold outside..

i used the tulipsstamp from stampinback and made 2x a tulip extra..

1 i put layered on the image and 1 i put with 2 leaves at the right side..

used my scallop edgepunch again.. i gues this one is pretty favorite these times..my hand is always choosing it..

i wanted to make really red tulips.. and than i found only these green papers to go with it.. like xmascolors!!

card seems out of balance.. but that is just because i didnot scan it exactly at the right angle . sorry !!!
