Created this Love Tulip Flower Card to give
to my hubby for the wonderful planting &
landscaping he does that brings me joy.
Even though we do not have Tulips we have
many other flowers such as the Hyacinths that
I photographed the card with this morning.
We have had a mild Winter here in Central TX.
Used Bloom Cricut Lite cartridge for Tulip
image which has 4 layers. Added some cardstock
cut with scissors to give it a grass look. Stamped
a sentiment. Added some gems for bling, glitter
and a ribbon.

Such a pretty card. I like how you added the little gems in, very clever! I can't believe you already have your Hyacinth plants blooming! It will be another 6-7 weeks here in Minnesota. I'm thinking of starting my heirloom tomaotes inside this year because last year I didn't get any until the end of August. Then the frost came, ick. Enjoy the scents of the Hyacinths! Oh, and thanks for the info on cupcake vending machines. That would be interesting, huh? lol
