Tulip Jungle

The challenge on Penny Black Saturday this week is 'Thanks a bunch' and I've used my PB 'Tulip Jungle' stamp and made a joy fold card (thanks again for the instructions Donna). The image is pencil coloured, blended with Sansodor and mounted on bright pink sugar coated Bazzil that I've been hoarding for a while. I used Basic Grey papers for all the different panels inside and out and Doodlebug rub ons for the sentiments. The joy fold is held closed by the sentiment tab which is foam mounted on one side. Added a few flowers, bright pink gems and stickles on the flowers to decorate. TFL.

Back Soon, Chris

Gorgeous card Chris, the image is so cute and coloured beautifully, really like the way the card opens and stays closed with the tab! Just lovely.

Very cute! The cat in the tulips is so cute! I love how you colored it. The blue makes the image really pop out! Great card.

This card would brighten even a dead man's day, I swear.
It's so full of colour and life and joy. Another exquisite creation from you, Chris. I can't take my eyes off it!
Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity with us, the 'lesser mortals' :)

Hugs,
