April Hostess Code and Spring Inspiration

 

My Retirement vacation is over and time to get back to REALITY!!  Watch this Blog for any upcoming events.  April weather can be fickle.....so I may post with only a few days notice! Keep the weekend of 4/22-4/24 in mind!



I wanted to share some pictures from my last stop in Hot Springs, Arkansas.  A beautiful Botanical garden:  Garvan Woodland Gardens.  Lat week was their Tulip Festival, and luckily I was camped a few miles away.  Powell Gardens is a reciprocal Garden and I could have attended for FREE if I had taken my membership card!  Join Powell Gardens locally and explore these other Gardens when you travel.

Here are a few shots that remind me of our Tulip Bundles and papers. Don't miss these beautiful products!  Enjoy the pictures and think SPRING!!


Carpets of Tulips under Live Oaks and Pine trees.


I have never seen anything like this on this scale......


All varieties.......


These next pictures look like paintings......


There were paths and paths of Tulips, every direction you looked.


The colors were so vibrant.


The light coming thru the trees gives these photos life!

Windmill Congratulations

 Granny Apple Green card base and panel embossed with this Stitched Greenery die make a great background for this water colored Windmill.  Another Die cut holds the Image and the Sentiment.


I popped up the Die Panel to give some depth to this card.  Such fun images in this set!

Watercolor Tulips

 Today I colored some Tulips.....I only have Momento Black ink with me and would have rather used a Green ink for a softer image....but hey I am using limited supplies.  Hope everyone is enjoying some warmer weather and getting ready for Baseball!!


This pattern of Tulip paper looks REAL!  Watercolor pencils never go out of style and adding some Wink of Stella gives some sparkle to this card.



I love having Die Cuts ready to go....for focal images and Sentiments!  Try cutting an entire sheet of White card stock in various sizes and get ready to create!

Flowering Tulips

There are 2 Bundles in the Flowering Fields Suite.  Today I am using Flowering Tulips Bundle.  Die cuts that can be assembled in many shapes and sizes of Tulips.  Mango Melody card base and a Tear and Turn background.  But I trimmed a straight piece to go across the Tulip pattern for a neat accent.



 Great Sentiments available in this Bundle!! Pumpkin Pie Tulips have a 3D look by placing dimensionals inside the Tulip.  The Die provides Score lines so you know where to fold!
