No, you're not seeing things,
this is my second vase of timeless tulips today.
Here is the first one
you can read the full details
HERE.
My 5 1/2" square card uses the delightful new September release
I combined the Tulips pre-coloured digital stamp from the Timeless Florals digital stamp set and combined it with the Beautiful Day digital sentiment from the retired Build-A-Wreath digital stamp set. I sized the vase of tulips fit on a 4" square panel and to make it same-but-different from my first card using this image, I mirrored the vase of tulips, so the handle was on the right. I added the sentiment, printed the image panel on smooth white cardstock, then trimmed the image panel. I anchored the vase of tulips to my card by adding a shadow using Warm Grey Copic Markers W0-W1-W3-W5.
Next came the matting layers. I matted the image panel with black cardstock and trimmed to a 1/16" matting layer, with the Perfect Layers Ruler against the edge of the image panel and a sharp knife to trim. I them matted the image panel again, this time with Jewel cardstock and trimmed to a 3/16" matting layer by putting the Perfect Layers Ruler against the edge of the image panel and a sharp knife to trim.
I adhered the matted image panel to a 5 1/2" square top folding
card base made from the same smooth white cardstock.
Looking at the photos, I'm wondering whether my card needs embellishments.
Do you think I should add some pearls, rhinestones or sequins?

I have made two cards same-but-different using this beautiful Tulips image.
My second card uses the same image panel mirrored before adding the sentiment.
My first card is on the right.

Gorgeous CAS style card Tracy! I love the shadow you added under the vase, it really does help to anchor it to the "ground". The warm tones work well with the pinks. Lovely.
