These tulips have been all over the place – I’ve seen them on craft blogs, Pinterest and even a version in a Papersource kit.
As always, I decided to put my a spin on the craft to really make it my own. And if you’d like to do my version (or just use it as a starting point for your own), free Silhouette Studio files are available at the end of this post. Continue reading…
