Before we left home for our trip to Europe I was determined to put my new Penny Black Tulip Bloom to use. I’m posting from my brother’s in the Hudson Valley tonight. We’ll drive to JFK tomorrow to fly to Amsterdam, and my post is just in time to enter the card in The Flower Challenge: Spring Colors which closes in about an hour. It was also inspired by the Double D Challenge: Springtime Flowers. I have some birthday cards to share as well, but I’m not sure I’ll get them posted while we’re gone.
I kept the design clean and simple, and used another new product, Pinkfresh Studio’s Scalloped Grid which I cut down for a smaller panel. The tulip was cut from cardstock scraps and ink blended with some red ink which, sadly, does not show well in the photograph.
The sentiment was foiled in gold with the Pinkfresh Here for You sentiments.
In addition to The Flower Challenge and the Double D Challenge, I’m sending this off to A Cut Above–it’s my last of three entries for April.
My post for the May 1 Color Hues Challenge is ready to post, so be sure to stop by for that!
Such a beautiful striking cas card, I love the bold colour of your tulip it really pops.Thank you so much for another fab entry for our spring colours challenge at The Flower Challenge.

The scalloped grid makes a great background for your tulip, Karen. Thanks for sharing your card with us at The Flower Challenge. Have a great trip!
Great card – that red tulip just pops off the trellis. I cannot wait for the tulips to start blooming.
A beautiful card and a beautiful design! Enjoy your trip! Thanks so much for joining our challenge at Double D!

Simple but so elegant Karen! I love that tulip die cut and it looks awesome against the white trellis. Thanks for sharing with A Cut Above’s April, “Anything Goes With A Die Cut” Challenge.
