Tulips Blooming in Spring

 Spring is on its' way, in my garden and on my card!  The tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths are pushing up out of the ground and will start blooming in two or three weeks!

My card was inspired by Parrot Tulips.

The tulip stencil is a long slim line size - so after stenciling, I cut it down to 5 1/2" x4 1/4" to fit an A2 card.

I used a 'new to me' embossing folder called Plaster from Sizzix which adds great subtle texture..

I sponged over the EF with Soft Stone ink and I used a BG90 (soft gray) Copic over the edges of the white parts on the stems and tulips, just to add a little dimension to the clean white!

The tulips are up on foam dots.

I'm sending my card to the following challenges:
