NB
A couple of things that didn't show up very well in the photos: The little flower sequins are actually iridescent plus the black panel on the inside of the card is edged with gold as is the message panel.
I was intending to make a Spring Mandala but lost my way as I was colouring for the colours aren't terribly Spring-like! Hence I have just two Spring elements in my design: the tangle Printemps & the stamped tulip images around the centre. The stamped lines were all but obliterated by the gold colouring so the lines were redefined with a Pigma Micron Pen. My next post will be a tutorial showing how I constructed the Mandala String for this tile.

Just love the brickwork, gives the tile the look of a knot garden, the tulips make a beautiful centerpiece.
You have selected perfect colours to depict Spring Paula and I like the way you have used the little dots'circles into the middle to draw the eye to the lovely gold lustre. The dies used on the inside is a very delicate and pretty one.

i love the golden tulips! and you used my tangle Blox :D yay!!! it looks wonderful here in your flower garden! thanks for incorporating it :)
Stunning! I love the fabulous brick work and the tulips are wonderful! Gorgeous!
That is so beautiful. It makes me think of a labyrinth. I love the gold sheen too.
Fabulous again Paula!
The brickwork reminds me of a formal garden, like a Maze structure, with the flowers to be found at the heart of the Maze.
Everything works so well together to bring your eye inwards towards the tulips.
Perfect!
Big hugs
