Whisper of Tulips - OSAAT #245

Good morning my friends. I'm a little late getting this posted. I guess I was so excited about having a 4-day weekend, it completely slipped my mind. It's been a good week with another monarch caterpillar showing up and now it's formed its cocoon, so I should have another one to release in just a few days which will probably be the last one until Spring.

Since it's Sunday, it's time for another challenge from One Stitch at a Time and this fortnight's challenge is Anything Goes With Gratitude. What are you thankful for?  For me, family, friends, and all the beautiful nature that our Heavenly Father has provided to us.  Here's my card.

Materials Used:
  • Image - Kaz Kraftz - Whisper of Tulips
  • Sentiment - Stampin Up - Mixed Medley
  • Cardstock - Stampin Up - Primrose Petals; Xpress It Blending Card
  • Ink - Stampin Up - Primrose Petals
  • Designer Paper - LOTV - Nitwit - One Birdie Lane collection
  • Accessories - Spellbinders - Opulent Ovals Die, Classic Oval Die; Round punches (my scallop punch was too large so I had to punch with a round and then trim away the excess to make the scallops on the sentiment); Lace from my stash; Butterflies - gifted to me from my blogging buddy ibalady (Brandi)
  • Layout was inspired by my friend Leslie Miller. I just know her through blogging, but I love to visit her blog - Running With Scissors. She always inspires me and I love the way she showcases her flowers.
  • Copic Markers - B00, B0000; G24, G28; RV02, RV13, RV14; Y11, YG41, YG45; 0
I hope you'll join us this fortnight for our challenge. Our wonderful sponsor is Stitchy Bear Digi Outlets and you could win our fabulous September Prize Pack or be picked as one of the Top 3.  Hope to see you there.

  7. What beautiful tulips and a lovely die cut framing them! I'm thankful for the very same things. They are everything most important to me. Of course, fur family is included in that. I caught your paragraph about the inspiration there at the end. Thank you, Maggie!
