Pink Tulips

I love pink tulips and decided to create a small bouquet of them using Susan's Garden Notes Tulip die set.  

For the stems for the tulips, two groups of stems weree die cut using the Garden Notes Stems and Bugs die set.  The two stems were glued together and sponged green.  It was attached to the front of the card, just in the thickest part of this stem die cut.  The tulips will be glued under the top edges, so don't glue them down.

The Garden Notes Tulips were die cut using white card stock.  A light pink ink was sponged on the lower portion of the petal and a darker pink sponged on the outside edges of each petal.  They were shaped using the Flower Tool Kit.  The stamens were die cut using black card stock and black pollen added to the tips.  The petal edges were shaped by bending out the edges. The bottom of the tulip was sponged with green ink then attached under the top edge of the stem.  Die cut the leaves and sponge on green ink, shape and attach to the stems.

I created a small pink bow out of twine and added across the stems.  One of Susan's Ladybugs was attached to the sentiment.

For the background and sentiment, I just pulled out some things in my stash I had created much earlier.
