Easter Tulip Peep

I could hardly wait to share my newest Easter card with you today!  I was feeling a little silly last night and thought I would combine two Easter card ideas I have recently run across online.  The Easter theme works perfectly with a new challenge site I came across today...Hand Stamped Sentiments.

I'm sure many of you have seen the cards with the three cracked eggs across the front and the little peeps sticking out of each ( Stamp with Tami - video and Flowerbug's Inkspot).  Well in the past I have also seen tulips with Easter eggs in the center.  You can find a video on Valita's incredible blog. So...I thought how cute and silly it would be to combine the two and this is what I came up with.  My children are fully grown now but I know that they would have loved this when they were little.  Isn't it cute!  Makes me smile. :)

There are several punches involved in this card.  Can you guess which ones?  Punches are so much fun and there are so many creative ways to use them.  Someone is always thinking up one more idea to share.  You could spend days online looking at all the examples.  All kinds of animals and flowers...it's amazing!

What I love is that not only does Stampin' Up! have a great selection of punches but it's difficult to come close to the quality.  And now with the new design they store so well.

So have you guessed yet?  Do you have your answers locked in?  The tulip petals were created with the Owl Punch and and the leaves with a large Circle Punch.  I used the 1-3/4" circle but you could use the larger 2-1/2". The egg is punched with the Extra-Large Oval Punch and the peep is the body of the Bird Builder Punch.  And I almost forgot, The Scallop Edge Border Punch was used for the grass.

The colors used are So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, and DSP from the brights collection for the egg.  And yes...that is the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder again. :)
