Tiptoe Through the Tulipes!!

I was soooo happy when my Stampin' Up ordered arrived on Monday. I hadn't put an order in for quite some time, so was happy to get some new things to play with. This "Tulipe" die is totally fun! I have to admit that I didn't really like it when I first saw it. Or when I saw it again . . . it just didn't do anything for me . . . UNTIL I actually saw something made with it. YOU know how that is, right???? Then, of course, you are enabled by someone to purchase it because of what you have seen them create. It happens to me ALL the time (and I'm sure it has NEVER happened to you, right??).

I did this for the color challenge on Tuesday (CC208) . . . EXCEPT that the Challenge Police came charging after me, with sirens blaring (aka my good friend Karen - imastampin on SCS)!!! She called me and said, "I liked your card today, except you CHEATED!" "What??!!??? I did NOT!! What are you talking about???" She replied, "You used Pink Pirouette, NOT Pink Passion!" Again, I said, "What??!!???" I guess I just read the list of colors, came to the word "pink" and just filled in the rest!! It was SUPPOSED to be chocolate chip, kiwi kiss and pink passion . . . guess I could've gone back and redid it then rephotogrpahed it, but I just decided to leave it how it is. Sadly, I ended up in Challenge Prison with NO bail money!! Luckily, one of the girls on SCS offered me her "Get Out of Jail Free" card!! (Thanks, PebbleKraft!!)

Fun new tip . . . I used my scallop circle punch to take a little "bite" out of each of the corners on the chocolate chip layer. I'm sure someone else, SOMEwhere has done this, but I just kind of thought it up myself for this card. I definitely will be doing it again!
