It is the month of tulips here in the Pacific NW. Over one million people come to see the spectacular display of over 300 acres of bright, beautiful tulips. Here are a couple photos, compliments of a friend of mine.
The first two weeks of April was just beautiful, then the rains started again a few days ago. But the festival continues and today we have the sun back -at least for a few hours. You never know here. It comes and goes with such speed.
Anyway, on to my card. But I thought you might like a look at a few pics of the glorious colorful fields.
I made this card as a sympathy card and opted to keep the sentiment inside. The tulip wreath and papers are by
Doodle Pantry.
The sentiment I used inside is by
Diane's Daydream Designs.
The sketch I based this card on is found at
Sketch Saturday

Oh my goodness, Marsha! Those photos are amazing. How does your jaw not drop driving past a field like that? I would love to see this in person, tulips are one of my favorite flowers and we don't even have them peeking out of the ground yet in MN.
