Happy Power Poppy Friday!















Hello there and a very happy Friday to you!  I have a quick post to share with you for your Power Poppy Friday inspiration using the darling Party Time stamp set.  




Now let me start by saying that although I like a yellow and black color scheme as much as the next person, it just so happens that those are the colors of a rival team of my beloved Georgia Bulldogs.  To use these colors during football season pains me to no end, let me assure you, but it also happens to be the birthday a very dear friend of mine.....and yes, she is a Georgia Tech fan.  Soooo, it is amazing what you find you will do for a bestie, isn't it?  ;)

I did not use any dies for my card this week, just some trimmed papers and a corner rounder.  I stamped my image and sentiment using Memento's Tuxedo Black ink and colored my image with Copics.  After adding a little shimmer with my Wink of Stella Clear Brush pen, I spattered a little ink here and there and then stitched some patterned papers to the top.  I adhered my image panel to my card base and tied on a ribbon.   




I just love this cake!  The stamp set has a few wee sentiments to fit in the darling banner too!  

So that is all for my card today, but some of my Bloomie sisters have created some beauties for your Friday inspiration.  Make sure you leave them a little blog love while you are there and make sure you check out the happenings on the Power Poppy blog too!  I thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you will find your way back here again soon. Until then, take care!  AND....I am wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!  :)

Power Poppy's November Power & Spark Challenge!










Hello there and a very happy Friday to you!  I wanted to share the latest Power & Spark Challenge news with you....our hostess for this month is the incredibly talented Copic diva, Cindy Lawrence!  She has a fun challenge just for you....take a lookie at this...




Now doesn't that sound like fun?  I chose to do another mini sized card.  I stamped my image from Glistening Paperwhites on to white card stock, colored it in with a few Copic markers then I trimmed the image panel in to three individual panels to resemble a triptych.  I added a few card stock and patterned paper layers, used a Krylon Silver Leafing pen, then added some shimmer with a Wink of Stella clear brush pen and assembled my card.  This card came together quick as a wink!  ;)






























Marcella's images are so incredibly detailed, you can color as much or as little as you like and they always come out so very striking!   
































So that is all for my card today, but some of my Bloomie sisters have some beautiful cards for your Friday inspiration.  Leave them a little blog love when you visit and then won't you join us for this fun challenge?  Just create your own masterpiece then link it up to the Power Poppy blog for a chance to win $50!  Woo hoo!!  Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you will come back again soon...until then, take care!  :)
