Paper Dolls Challenge #32

This card is for the Paper Dolls Challenge #32, issued by Amy.  She challenged us to create a project with these requirements:

The Challenge

1.  Embossing

2.  Use any floral image from PTI

3.  Spring colors

 

"Any floral image from PTI" - sounds easy, right?  No!  That choice is very, very difficult.  There are way too many great floral images, and I only have a few of them.  I don't even own any of the Year of Flowers sets.  Every time I see a project done with them, I turn my head quickly to avert my eyes so as not to be tempted to order all 12 sets at once.  

The spring part of Amy's challenge made me think of tulips, and the obvious choice for that was one of my favorite sets, "Wishing You."  I also included the challenge this week for Make It Monday - to apply glitter using scor-tape.  I created a frame around the edges of the green mat to add some sparkle to the card. 

 

Here's my card:

I started by stamping and embossing the tulip leaves with VersaMark and Zing powder on Vintage Cream  cardstock.  Then I ran the mat through my Big Shot with the Canvas Impression plate.  I used my new favorite edger punch on the sides.  The glitter border is on a piece of Simply Chartreuse cardstock.  I chose some happy, spring colors for the tulips, stamped them, cut them out and popped them up.  After adding a butterfly, I was finished.  

Here's the inside:

 

And since I've learned how to do close-up views pretty well, you get to see this one too!  It really shows the canvas impression plate.
