Timeless Tulips and Sketches!

Ever have a time where the creativity is just not working? Try using a sketch to help you jump start your creative side. 

One of the ways I come up with ideas for cards is by searching through sketches online and in pinterest.  They are a great way to get those creative ideas running.  Here is a card that I did after looking through several sketches.  I hope that this will encourage you to take a chance at using sketched when designing your cards.  Hope you like it!

3. On a scrap of Whisper White stamp 2 large tulips in Flirty Flamingo ink and 4 leaves in Granny Apple Green ink then punch out with the Tulip Builder Punch. Then stamp the sentiment "Get Well Soon" in Granny Apple Green ink and fussy cut around the words.
4. Adhere a 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 Bermuda Bay sheet to the card front centering top and bottom and right and left edges flush. You should be able to see the tops and bottom of the tulips that you stamped previously.
