Basketfull of tulips

It's the first friday of the month (SA Time) and so it is a freebie time at http://digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop/
Be sure to grab this within the next 3 days. Just add it to the cart and check out.
Of course I had to make a card with this sweet image. I love tulips

Image is colored using copics.

Edges chalked with chalk ink.

 The cardstock is coredination so after cutting and embossing I distressed it with sand paper . The dies are spellbinder dies. 

I love the butterflies and flower and flourish from the spellbinder jewel die - my fav as it has flowers and butterflies in one place

Here are the dies used

1. Lattice motif
2. Jewel me flower and flourish
3. Parisan Accents

I added faux stitching with micron pen. Some ribbon (from India) pearls and rhinestones to give it a bit of pop.

Of course I want to enter this in some challenges
