Today I created a quick little birthday gift for a friend of mine who celebrated her birthday last week. She's one of those people who appreciates the things that I make, so I don't mind making things for her. I had told her that I was going to create 4 blocks throughout the year for her. Seasonal blocks. I gave her the Winter block at Christmas time, so now it's time for Spring!
I looked online to see what flowers bloom in the spring and see if I had any Kitchen Sink Stamps in that flower. I saw tulips, and pulled out the 3 Step Bitty Tulip Bouquet. There are two different size tulips, so it was perfect! I utilized both sizes, one for the block and the other for the card.
Here you can see the closeup of the pattern that I created w/ my Scor-pal. I wanted the embossing to be subtle, so that the tulip oval panel would really shine.
And the block! This turned out SO cute! If I do say so myself! I wanted to keep it for myself! LOL!

Tulips: 3-Lady Bug (Memento); 2-Lady Bug (stamped off); 1-Lady Bug (stamped off twice); 4-Rhubarb (Memento); 5-Cherry Cobbler (SU!)
