But first.... a look at a stamp set that might already have caught your eye!

This Dynamic Duo of Peonies and Tulips was released last month as an exclusive digi download. Well, Marcella heard from so many of you saying -- "Please! Bring this out on polymer!! Please!" Well, she is a woman who listens and now -- those gorgeous blossoms can be purchased as a digital stamp or as a brand new 4 by 6" set with both flowers and 8 brand new beautifully scripted sentiments! What fun!
On to my creation!
I have to say, when I started to create -- I was feeling a simple card coming on. I didn't want a lot of stuff on my creation and actually struggled with the layout. I kept trying to add things, only to take them away later. So, this card is a little -- like I said -- simple -- but I think it works. ;-)
I stamped using Espresso Truffle Memento Ink. I have been using that a ton lately instead of black. It's like a deep, deep brown and not as harsh as black. Anyway, after I stamped, I colored up my tulips with Copic Markers using R21, YR01, YR0000, Y32, Y21, G20, YG61, YG63, BG0000, and BG10. Here's a close up below....
After I colored, I did use the Spellbinders Majestic Labels Twenty Five for my main image. And, while the die was still on, I sponged on some Peach Bellini Ranger Ink for a soft glow. I added some May Arts Ribbon, a bit of Queen and Co. bling and then matted it all up with some fun peach decorative paper (unknown) and then again on some mint green Prima paper. I love that this set offers some brand new sentiments. Isn't this one below super cute? I punched the sentiment out with a scalloped SU punch and matted it on a 1" punched circle. See?
And that, my friends, is it! not much more to this card! I have seen a bit of behind the scenes action with the Bloom Brigade and I mean to tell you -- you are going to want to hop on over and see their creations as well! And... head on over to the Power Poppy blog too for some fun-filled words from the artist herself -- Marcella Hawley!

Gorgeous! I love Marcy's florals, another beautiful card Julie! Have to get this set as well.
Well Julie, I have to say...this does not look like you had a minutes' trouble with this card....it is absolutely beautiful! I love the simplicity of the design....you chose the perfect background paper to really show off your stunning coloring and the amazing detail of the stamp....absolutely gorgeous card, my friend! :)
Love the color you have chosen for these pretty tulips, Julie.
Just beautiful, Julie! Love the peachy tones. :)
Well, Julie, I agree with Katie! It doesn't look like it gave you any trouble at all! I LOVE the simple and elegant layout! It really showcases your exquisite coloring! Totally loving this new set (and will definitely have to get it). Digitals are good and so are the clear...and these are too beautiful not to get! I love it, Julie, and thanks for sharing it! Hugs!
P. S. And, yes, Marcy really does listen! So cool!
Marcy's floral are absolutely gorgeous. Such elegant images. Your colouring is so beautiful
Such pretty understated elegance!! I"m so happy she is putting these into stamps, thanks so much!
Oh happy day is right.. Cheerful and carefree feeling. Love love this Julie.
Oh, sigh... colors to die for, perfect sponging, cute little bow... what's not to love? Furthermore, I'm looking at this and thinking how absolutely perfect it is and wondering why I, too, want to fuss over my cards so much. I mean, a beautiful image like this doesn't require all that much, does it? Making note to self...
Oh so pretty in peach, Julie! I want a whole garden full of these tulips!!! Can you make that happen? ;) The Espresso ink really works so beautifully with the softer images. Love that background paper too! Love everything about this actually!
