Curtain Call Inspration Challenge - Jellybean Reminder

CC March 21 photo CCMar21pic.jpg

We are half way through the current Jelly Bean Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge and this time round I decided to make a round card showcasing some tulips in the colours of the inspiration photo.

I have seen tulips made with the wing of the Stampin' Up bird punch but have never tried them myself, so this is my tribute to my favorite flower - tulips!

I had the privilege of living in The Netherlands for a year when I worked with Billy Graham there, and needless to say, there were lots and lots of tulips in all sizes, shapes and colours.  I had tulips in my apartment every day for weeks (as well as on my desk in the office) and you could buy them at flower kiosks on just about every corner for a very cheap price.  Needless to say, I was in flower heaven :)

If you haven't played along yet, we would love to have you join us!  Plus, the LEAD for this challenge gets to join us as a Guest Designer in a future challenge.

Look forward to seeing your creations in our gallery.

    Your tulips are marvelous, Marisa! Love them immensely! I've read about the history of tulips (Michael Pollan's book) and wow...fascinating backgrounds to these beautiful creations, indeed! Your card has brightened this rainy day immensely!

    Beautiful card Marisa. I was born in the Netherlands and my favourite flower is also the tulip. While you were there, did you get the chance to go to Keukenhof in the spring? I am still in touch with some of my cousins even though I have been in Canada since 1956. I was 6 when we left the Netherlands so I can barely read Dutch but struggle with speaking it.

    Your experience overseas sounds amazing in all ways! It certainly inspired a beautiful card. I wouldn't have guessed those were bird wings.
