Wow - this one was easy! It just fell together so quickly. Tulips cased from Julia Bettencourt here.
If the cute little punched birds you've seen haven't convinced you, maybe these tulips will. The new Extra Large Two-Step Bird punch is awesome! I knew I'd love it, but I never thought it would be this versatile!
Two or three of the punched bird wings form perfect tulips! I sponged the edge of each petal/wing with coordinating ink to add shading & dimension.
The tulip stems come from the leaf punch on that same Bird punch. I wanted long stems, so I punched two for each tulip & glued them together underneath the ribbon. Then I cut off a few leaves & added them to the stems.

I love the way you made them a bouquet, and the scallop square looks great behind it.

This tulip card is so gorgeous! As soon as I get that punch I will have to make that card for my state to state club and my Tuesday night club. The girls will love it. Unless they beat me to the punch.
