Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful first part of spring. If it is like where we are, the heat is coming, even though it is not May. If you came from Tracie’s blog, I am sure you found something just as amazing and inspiring. NC Demo’s this month are focusing on the almighty PUNCH! I love them, and at one point, I would take a punch over a die any day. Now that I am a bit more avid in my crafting, I am not so scared of the dies anymore. I loved that we decided to do this month since I have not really been using my poor punches much lately. Using the Tulip builder punch gets me back to old school and creating with my punches.
I love this card. I wanted to make them for an Easter card, but time got away from me, and Easter was upon us. So I made them anyway. I love that the Many Messages dies, and the sentiment was perfect to pop a sentiment in with no fuss. I love having these already stamped and cut out. Especially when I create a card and leave it blank and need a quick sentiment.
The Card
These Tulips were created by doing a watercolor wash with a water painter and color from my ink pads on watercolor paper. You, of course, could use your reinkers to create this as well. I love how it makes some of the petals darker and lighter than others, just as in nature.
I hope you hop along with us for the rest of the blog hop. You can click the NEXT button or the name following after mine. Happy Blog Hopping.

I hope you all have a wonderful crafty day,

Amy, those tulips are gorgeous! I don’t have that punch …. but my sister does. I will be borrowing it and CASEing your card for sure.
Absolutely! I am pretty happy with how they came out.
Amy, your cards are beautiful! I love the colors and you have inspired me to dig out my Tulip Punch. I don’t think I have used it since last Spring. Thank you SO much for sharing!
Love this punch and you did a wonderful job with it! Beautiful 😊
Amy – I love everything about your cards – the colors, the textures, the ink splatter – just gorgeous! I am embarrassed to say that I don’t have the tulip punch. You have definitely inspired me to get one!
