Tip-toe thru the Tulips......

My baby sister had her birthday recently. Now she is a REAL tough one to do a card for....cause she appreciates the effot I put into the cards I do...she's just "not that into them!!" Each to their own I guess. She had put out the request for her birthday this year...as things she can use so that she can re-do her back yard!! So I themed the card with this in mind. It was based on this BEAUTIFUL card I stumbled upon in SCS here.

Now also in my never ending drive to build up my stash and not directly replicate I changed things slightly with the 2nd card and practiced my masking technique!! Dunno if I am 100% on the outcome, but the eventual recipient of the 2nd card (my son's teacher) LOVED it...so I am happy!!

Card 1 (my sister's card)...

                                  

                                                     

And the 2nd card......

 

I am keen to try out different colour combos of this card with navys, reds, browns and pinks....but all in good time right??? 

Thanks for popping by. Let me know your thoughts...I always appreciate any feedback positive or negative.
