Tulip Embossing Card

Well, I wanted summer and I think it here!!  It has been in the 90's the past few days, so I am finally getting some things done in my craft room.  A few months ago, a blogger friend of mine - PJ's Projects - sent me this adorable tulip embossing folder.  I put it away as I was starting to move my boxes back in my craft room.  I got it out the other day as I have been making some cards to send to a dear friend of ours who is in the last stages of cancer.  She has come home from the hospital with Hospice and besides going to visit, I have been sending her cards to let her know she is in our thoughts even though we are not with her physically.  This has been an extremely upsetting time for everyone.  She has been in the girls lives since they were babies, and they are so upset with her situation.

I must admit it was harder than I thought it would be to color in the cute little tulips!!  My eyes are definitely not as good as they used to be.  At first I was going to us my Gamsol and pencils but that was a disaster, so I eventually ended up using my SU markers.

I embossed the image in Whisper White and then layered it on Pink Pirouette.  I tied my ribbon around those two layers and adhered them onto a layer of Soft Sky.

My sentiment on the front is just a $1 stamp from Michael's and the inside sentiment is from SU's Whimsical Words stamp set.

I was really happy how the cards turned out and I hope she likes it.  She has always been so appreciative of my cards and craft items that I send her.  It will be a difficult time for her and her family, and any prayers would be appreciated.

Thanks for stopping by,

Nancy
