Power Poppy's August Blog Hop!

Hello there and Happy Friday to you!  Today marks the end of Power Poppy's August release and to mark the occasion we have one last hop for you!  Today is also the day that all three of Marcella's amazing new sets in the Nature and Nurture collection will be available for purchase in the Power Poppy Store.....YAY!  :)  I am so excited to share with you my card using another image from the Feeling Fall set!  Take a lookie here...

I started by stamping the adorable cat and pumpkin image and coloring it up with Copics.  I die cut it out with a Spellbinders Classic Oval die and sponged some Ranger Distress Ink in Peeled Paint and Papertrey Ink's Chai and Chamomile inks to age it a bit.  Next, I added some shimmer with a Wink of Stella clear brush pen.  With my image tag done, I went to work on my card base. 

 I used Papertrey Ink's Pumpkin die set from their Shape Up series.  I used several patterned papers from Carta Bella's "Fall Blessings" 6x6 pad and inked the sections with more PTI Chai and Chamomile inks, pieced them together and stitched them up.  I used a bit of Classic Kraft paper for the stem and stitched it on my card front.  Next, I tied a bow, punched a couple of very small holes in my pieced card front and tied the bow on with a button and twine.  I die cut a small tag with more Classic Kraft paper and stamped the sentiment.  Lastly, I attached the image tag and sentiment tag with some foam dimensionals.

Can I tell you how much I love, love, L-O-VE this image!  Well, I do!  That chevron stripe and those polka dots....I get giddy, I tell ya.  :)  And let me not fail to mention that adorable-y spooky cat!    

This card ended up measuring approximately 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".  And I still love this image....just sayin'....again! ;)  So that is all for my little card today but let me just say that my Bloomie sisters have outdone themselves once again.....you are in for a real treat.  Make sure you leave them a little blog love while you are there and then jet on over to the Power Poppy store to make one, two, or all three of these amazing new sets your own!  AND...lemme tell you a little something else....Marcella has whipped up a super sweet sale so while you are getting these new sets you can stock up on some other sets or digis that you have had your eye on.....
