Hello, my friends, and happy weekend eve! Michele here, and I'm delivering Spring tulips to you today - do you love tulips as much as I do?
I found a beautiful rainbow of color to these gorgeous Waffle Flower Crafts tulips today with Copic markers chosen from the rainbow of hues in my background created with the Pinkfresh Studio Layered Starburst stencils!
With a penknife, I was able to cut even those intricate pieces with
care - use a self-healing mat while cutting...
... and here's a tip - smooth those cuts from the backside like so:
Nobody will ever know you didn't use a die to cut them!
A simple stitched rectangle die to 'finish' the edge, and a few Pinkfresh jewels, and this card is ready to be delivered! I found this sentiment among my many snippets - but THIS ONE from Waffle Flower would be a wonderful addition to any stash!
Hope you have a wonderful [crafty] weekend!
