I am sooooo excited to bring you a card for the DeNami Design Sketch Challenge #7 (fabulous sketch courtesy of Michele), and I am ECSTATIC to enter a challenge at the Play Date Cafe for the FIRST time! Julie Ranae created a gorgeous color combination, so I couldn't resist delving into this fantastic challenge. PLUS, I got a new plaid border punch today, and I just HAD to try it! Oh, and here's a tip about Copic markers that you may or may not already know. Did you know that you can use your Copic markers to COLOR ribbon? It's true! I needed purple ribbon, but I didn't have any, so I actually took some light blue grosgrain ribbon and colored it using a Copic marker in the exact shade of purple I wanted. How fun is that? I love my Copics!
Now here's my card:

Yay Amy! So glad you had a go at my sketch and thrilled to have you play with us at The Play Date Cafe! Beautiful card, LOVE the yellow tulips and thanks for sharing that fun tip about coloring ribbon! who knew?? :)
Such pretty tulips, AMy! Now, if only the real tulips would start popping up from the ground like yours does here, it'd be a happy start to Spring! THanks for joining us at the Play Date CAfe.
Lovely card Amy! I love how you created the bottom section of the card, and you coloring of the tulips is awesome. Nice!!!
Awesome job combining the challenges Amy. Your purple cardstock & ribbon do look perfect together, love those Copics!
Love that you colored your own ribbon to match and that plaid border is fantastic. You've used it perfectly! So glad you have given the Play Date Cafe a try this week - hope to see you back again!
It's so lovely that you found us over at Play Date Cafe! Your card is really pretty, I love your shimmery cardstock and the plaid border punch you've used. It's always exciting to colour your ribbon with Copics, isn't it!
Very pretty, Amy! What a great effect with making those flowers pop off the page! Love that shimmery paper and the beautiful design! Thanks for joining us this week at the Play Date Cafe!
