Bonjour !
Je ne sais pas chez vous mais ici les tulipes commencent à fleurir et ça m’a donné envie de créer une carte avec ce joli tampon d’Uniko tout en combinant plusieurs défis.
Hello !
I don’t know about you, but the tulips are starting to bloom here, and that made me want to create a card with this pretty Uniko stamp while combining several challenges.

Update: Happy and honoured to be one of the favourite at CAS on Friday.
Happy and honoured to be one of the Top 3 at Simply Clean & Simple.
J’ai tout d’abord coupé un cercle avec une matrice de découpe dans du papier blanc puis à l’aide de masques, j’ai créé cette composition de tulipes.
I first die cut a circle from white card stock and then using masks I created this tulip composition.
J’ai ensuite coloré cette composition avec des crayons de couleur. Une fois terminée, j’ai découpé un cercle plus petit de cette composition. J’ai répété l’opération avec les deux matrices dans du papier blanc puis j’ai collé les trois cercles extérieurs ensemble et enfin sur la double carte blanche.
I then colored this composition with coloured pencils. Once finished, I die cut a smaller circle from this composition. I repeated the operation with the two dies in white card stock then I glued the three outer circles together and finally on the double white card.
J’ai collé ensuite le reste de la composition à l’intérieur de ce cadre rond. C’est à ce moment que le “malheur” est arrivé : je devais surement avoir de l’encre noire sur un doigt, toujours est-il qu’elle s’est retrouvée sur l’image ! Réfléchissons….. et si j’y mettais un papillon ? Ni une, ni deux, j’ai tamponné un papillon, je l’ai coloré, je l’ai découpé avec la matrice correspondante et je l’ai collé sur la tâche. 🥵 La carte est sauvée !
I then adhered the rest of the composition inside this round frame. That’s when the “misfortune” happened: I must have had black ink on a finger, and it ended up on the image! Let’s think… what if I put a butterfly on it? Without further ado, I stamped a butterfly, coloured it, cut it out with the matching die and I glued it on the stain. 🥵 The card is saved !
Pour finir, j’ai tamponné et embossé le sentiment.
To finish, I stamped and I heat embossed the sentiment.
Et voilà ! Bien contente de ne pas avoir tout à recommencer et finalement j’aime beaucoup cet ajout du papillon.
Et voilà ! Very happy not to have to start all over again and finally I really like the addition of the butterfly.

I think tulips are my favourite Spring flower. Well done with the ‘rescue’. I quite often make a mark or smudge and have to think how I can cover it up!! Thank you for playing along with AAA Colourful. X
This is so beautiful!!! I love how your image continues onto the frame. It adds such a subtle touch of texture and interest! Thanks for playing with Cut It Up Challenge.
Such a lovely design, and beautiful yellow tulips! It will be awhile before our tulips bloom, so I’ll enjoy your tulips until then. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues.
I love this layout and card, Izzy! I totally need to pin this for future inspiration. Gorgeous Spring card that any recipient will love. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues.
It’s a gorgeous CAS card, fits our Triple B challenge too! Thanks so much for joining our challenge at Simply Clean & Simple!
