I know, it’s late in the season for tulips, but I think this stamp set is so pretty and I haven’t used it for a long time.

I made today’s card for Operation Write Home, using the green and purple color scheme from last week’s Midweek Throwdown Challenge on the Stars & Stamps blog.  I chose shades of plum for my purples.  Because I’d used this basic idea a few years ago, this was a quick and easy card to make.  The piercing in the corners of the green mat doesn’t show up well – one larger hole flanked by two smaller ones – but I think it makes a nice effect on the actual card.

All supplies for this card are from Stampin’ Up unless otherwise noted.
