1st one for 2012

Happy New Year!
Here's my first DT card of the year :)
We kick off 2012 with a challenge at Stamps R Us, which is sponsored by The Stamping Boutique. who happen to have a New Year Sale on right now, there's 35% off all digis :)
Our challenge has an anything goes theme, but if possible, we want you to 'Show Us What You Got' if you received fabby new craft stash for christmas.

The SRU DT were each given an image to use on our cards, I chose 'Tulips' (thank you TSB), well actually I think the image chose me, I was spoilt for choice looking through the fabby digis, and I changed my mind several times, but then Tulips kept drawing my eye towards it, so I guessed we were destined to be together.


and here is a close up of the tulips, which I 3D'd for more dimension.
I'm sorry about the poor photo quality, the weather was really dull when I took them.


I started by printing off the image 4 times and coloured them with my promarkers, one of the colours is new, hubby bought me some just before christmas, so technically they were an early crimbo pressie. As were the pearls used either side of the sentiment.
I very carefully cut out the flowers so that I could layer them.
The patterned paper is by Echo Park (little girl)
The sentiment is from a stamp set given to me for christmas from the lovely Maya. Thanks again Maya xx

I hope you will join us for this first challenge of the year, my fellow teamies have made some awesome cards to share with you, please visit the challenge blog or their individual blogs to see for yourself.
