Today I'm sharing my first Easter card of the year and I used a lovely tulip image from Beccy's Place.
I started by coloring with my ProMarkers, then cut the image with a die from Spellbinders. The sentiment is also cut with another die from that same set. The background dp was a left over on my desk and worked perfectly with the color combo.
I find that when I'm using 12 x 12 scrap booking paper, I tend to leave the scraps on my desk after I've cut into a new sheet. Over the next few days of crafting, I'll grab and use up those scraps as they work with whatever I'm creating at the moment. Often, the scraps themselves will inspire the next color combo.
I added two of my signature, hand-tied, bows with pearls. I used a ProMarker to 'dye' them the color I wanted, choosing the lilac color of two of the tulips.

Your purple tulips are lovely!
What a sweet and pretty card, beautifully coloured image and I love the colour scheme. What a great way of using up your paper by using it to inspire your next creation, never thought of doing that I tend to hoard mine and end up with a huge heap of paper cut offs laying around on my desk lol. Thank you for sharing your beautiful make with us over at Polkadoodles Crafting https://polkadoodle.blogspot.com/ and hope you will join us again.
Take care,

A very pretty card, lovely design and I love how you've coloured the flowers. xx
Wow, this is so beautiful! Those tulips really pop from the gorgeous frame!! Adorable Easter card!
What a lovely card! I have quite a few images from Beccy, but not that one. Is there a place online I could go to find more of her images? I've searched the challenge blog but there's nothing before 2017 and I can't find a store that carries her images. I love her artwork and you have totally done it justice on your card. ~chris

This is beautiful and your sweet bows are the perfect touch. hugs, Teresa
I am entering my project into the Scrapy Land challenge but 1st looked over "the competition". I had to stop by to say how pretty your card is!
What a beautiful image!! And the frame you used for it is fabulous! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
Gorgeously colored, Connie! I love your take on the inspiration photo, and the way you have used that die cut. For some reason, when I cut my die like that, it sorta tears up - looks fantastic here! hugs, de
Absolutely gorgeous NC!! I love the colour scheme and the beautiful patterned paper in the background... thanks for the tip on using up the offcuts. You did a really good job with the colouring, I particularly like the white edges on the petals. The little bows are adorable and I like that you've coloured them yourself to match the other elements on your card. Fabulous job!
Cheers,
Beccy
