<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hello there and happy Friday to you! I hope you have been doing well. I have a little card to share with you today for <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Power Poppy's</span></b></a> Friday inspiration featuring the adorable stamp set <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/party-time"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Party Time</span></b></a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I started by stamping the piece of cake image on white card stock and colored it with Copics. Next, I stamped the image again and made a mask to cover my colored image and stamped the presents. After that, I stitched some patterned paper on each side and adhered it to my card base. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink onto some gray card stock, heat embossed it with white embossing powder and adhered it to my card. This card measures 3" x 6". </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hello there and a very happy Friday to you! I am so glad you could stop by today. I have a quick post to share with you for <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy's</b></span></a> Friday inspiration. I just had to take part in that darling <a href="https://outtoimpress.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Julie Koerber's</b></span></a> current Creative Confetti Challenge over on the <a href="http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy blog</b></span></a>. Make sure you check it out <a href="http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/2019/04/creative-confetti-on-grid.html"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>here</b></span></a> and play along with us! It's all about turning your art work into a grid....I think it looks like tiles, what do you think? :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For my card, I used the lovely spring inspired stamp set, <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/natural-beauties"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Natural Beauties</b></span></a>. I started by stamping my image with Memento's Tuxedo Black ink on to white card stock and coloring it with Copics. Next, I die cut my image, then used my paper trimmer to cut it in to nine equal squares. I layered some dark gray card stock with some patterned papers, stamped the sentiment and adhered everything to my die cut card base. The finished card measures 4 1/2" square.</span><br />

I hope all is well in your little corner of the world. :) I have a petite card to share with you today using Power Poppy's <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/prairie-cheer"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Prairie Cheer</b></span></a> stamp set. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I started by stamping my image and sentiment on to white card stock with Memento's Tuxedo Black ink and coloring it with Copics. Next, I die cut my image and some patterned paper and stitched the two together. After that, I added a little gold leafing with a Krylon 18 KT Gold Leafing pen and spritzed a little ink around using a spritzing tool and a Stampin' Up! marker. Lastly, I adhered my image panel to a layered card base. This card measures 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" .</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I think that sweet little cone flower and pretty mixed font sentiment is just the thing to help someone feel better, don't you? I love Marcella's amazing detail on this bloom....I mean, just look at those petals and the flower center.....WOW! This little bloom is quick to color up and makes quite a floral statement. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So that is all for my card today, but some of my Bloomie sisters have some lovely cards to share with you today....please make sure you check them out and leave them a little blog love while you are there.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hello there and happy Friday to you! I hope you have been doing well. I have not been a very active card maker the last few weeks....things have been pretty hectic around here, but I <i>finally</i> took some long overdue coloring time in my little craft space and what fun I had! :) </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For my card today, I actually used <i>three</i> different <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy</b></span></a> stamp sets...<a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/folk-heart"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Folk Heart</b></span></a> (image), <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/good-thinking-love-notes-stamp-set"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Good Thinking: Love Notes</b></span></a> (sentiment), and <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/tweet-tidings"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Tweet Tidings</b></span></a> (music notes). Don't you think this image makes a really sweet Valentine? :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> I started by stamping my image with Memento's Tuxedo Black ink on to rustic white card stock, colored it with Copics, then die cut it. After adding a little shimmer with a Wink of Stella clear brush pen and some gold leafing with a Krylon 18KT gold leafing pen, I layered it with a scallop circle die cut. Next, I stamped my sentiment and music notes, then stitched some patterned paper onto a card stock panel. After that, I adhered the panel to my card base, rounded a corner, then adhered my image. This card measures 3 5/8" x 4 7/8" .</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hello there and a <i>very</i> happy Friday to you! I sure hope this post finds you doing well. I have a super quick post to share with you today for <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy's</b></span></a> Friday inspiration using one of the newest stamp sets, <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/snuggle-down"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Snuggle Down</b></span></a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I just <i>love</i> the darling images in this stamp set and I have been itching to get this sweet little scene inky! Those little thermoses captured my heart right away. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I started by stamping my image with Memento's Tuxedo Black ink onto white card stock, die cut it, and then colored it in with Copics. After stamping my sentiment from the same set, I added some ink spatters with a spritzing tool and some Stampin' Up! markers then added some shimmer with a clear Wink of Stella brush pen. Lastly, I adhered my image onto a layered card base with some foam tape.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I started my card by trimming a piece of rustic white card stock to 3 5/8" x 5". Next I stamped various snowflakes from the set using Going Gray ink from Stampin' Up! Some were first generation stamping and some were second generation stamping to allow for some depth. For the large snowflake that is behind my sentiment....I inked it up and used a sponge to take some ink off of the stamp before stamping it on my cardstock. I wanted a slight fade where the sentiment would be so the sentiment would be really clear. After inking up my sentiment with Memento's Rhubarb Stalk ink, I dabbed some Scarlet Jewel ink from Papertrey Ink on part of the sentiment then stamped it. I really like how it turned out...kind of like it "glitters and glows"! :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Next came the strips of patterned papers (I used pinking shears to give a decorative edge for one of the papers) and some stitching. After adding some distress ink around the edges, I added some shimmer with a clear Wink of Stella brush pen then tied on my ribbon and added a little charm. All that was left was to adhere my panel to a card base. The finished card measures 3 5/8" x 5". </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Isn't she a beaut? Can you just imagine how many different ways you could color this gorgeous image?

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I stamped my image with Memento's Tuxedo Black ink and colored my image with Copics then went back with a white Polychromos pencil to add some highlights. After die cutting my image panel, I added some shimmer with a Wink of Stella clear brush pen, stamped my sentiment from the same stamp set, sponged and spritzed some inks around, and added some gold leafing around the edges with a Krylon 18 KT Gold Leafing pen. I kept the card layers minimal and added a little stitching to my patterned papers before adhering them to my card base. My image panel is adhered with foam tape. This card measures 3 7/8" x 5 3/8" .</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For my card I chose to use one of the darling images from the <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/snuggle-down/"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Snuggle Down</span></b></a> stamp set. I started by stamping my image with Memento's Tuxedo Black ink onto some cream card stock. After die cutting my image, I colored it up with Copics. I even filled in the bottom portion of the image panel with Copic ink then stamped my sentiment in the shaded area. Next I added some shimmer with a Wink of Stella clear brush pen and then I pulled out my trusty Krylon gold leafing pen to pretty up the edges. :) The rest of the card is some simple patterned paper layering with some stitching. This card measures 3 3/8" x 4 7/8" .</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Soooo,</i> I decided to get outside my Copic comfort zone and try out my woefully neglected Polychromos colored pencils for this image. I chose to stamp a single image and one of the darling sentiments from this set.....<i>oh my word,</i> that font! :) I stamped my image with Memento's Rich Cocoa ink and proceeded to experiment with my pencils. I will list the colors I used below. It took a while but mostly because I was trying to familiarize myself with the colors I have. It is definitely a lot different from my Copics, but not quite as scary as I worried it might be...overall, I really like the pencils but I do think I need more practice to feel comfortable using them. My card is just a few simple layers because I wanted this glorious image to be front and center! This card measures 3 1/4" x 4 1/2".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now, how cute are these sweeties? Those are some <i>serious</i> love eyes going on, right? ;) Marcella's inspiration for this set was her own precious Corgi, Tibbs! So for my card, I chose to highlight the image in a circle die cut. After coloring it up with Copics, I added some shimmer with a Wink of Stella clear brush pen and some shine to the berries with a clear glaze pen. I used a scallop oval die cut for my card base and just added a few layers with some patterned papers for interest. The sweet little sentiment is from the same stamp set. I'll bet you will see some of the other images and sentiments along the hop today.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hello there friends! I hope this post finds you well. I have a quick little card to share for this week's <span style="color: #e06666;"><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Power Poppy</span></b></a> </span> Friday. It has been a while since I have played along and boy was I itching to get back at it! We are <i>finally</i> getting some cooler temperatures in our area....70's, but hey, we'll take it and with that I decided to jump way past Halloween and Fall themed cards and go straight to Christmas... :) Is it ever too early for a Christmas card? I don't think so either....sooo, here is a little Friday inspiration Christmas cheer for you!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I started with my image and sentiment from Power Poppy's <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/cozy-cupfuls"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Cozy Cupfuls</span></b></a> stamp set....after stamping it with Memento's Tuxedo Black ink, I colored it up with Copics and die cut it out. Next, I stitched my patterned paper and stamped my sentiment. After giving my image some sparkle with my Wink of Stella clear brush pen, I tied on a little twine and then layered my image panel onto my assembled card base. This card measures a petite 3 1/4" x 4 1/2".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Have you <i>ever</i> seen a more darling fall image?

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So, for my card I also chose the cake pedestal of pumpkins <i>(and you will be happy to know that this set has other images too!....and sentiments!!.....and they are all absolutely darling!!!).</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My inspiration for this card was actually from a scrap of card stock on my desk left over from another project. My blue card base was already scored and folded and the dimensions were perfect for a petite card so all I needed to do was color up my image with Copics, use a white pencil for the flowers and a bit of highlight, spritz a little ink around, stitch some patterned paper, stamp my sentiment and adhere it to my card base! I did use a stitched die for my image panel but I trimmed off the sides to make it narrow enough for my card base. A little shimmer from a Wink of Stella Clear brush pen was the final touch. :) This card measures 3" x 5 1/4" .</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For my card, I started by stamping my image onto rustic white card stock and colored it up with Copics. Next, I ran the colored image through my die press with a wood grain impression plate then die cut it with a rectangle die. If you want to try this technique, I would recommend that you emboss <i>then</i> die cut so your edges will remain crisp. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After I stitched my patterned paper on to my image panel, I die cut and stamped my sentiment circle. A little sponged ink helped the sentiment stand out a bit then I stamped, colored, and fussy cut that darling little bottle cap. Once I adhered my sentiment to the image panel, I adhered the entire assembly to my card base. This card measures 3 3/4" x 4 7/8".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Once I stamped her up, I die cut the panel then colored her up with Copics. Next, I stitched some patterned paper to the opposite corner and stamped my sentiment from the same set. I added a little shimmer with a Wink of Stella clear brush pen and spritzed a couple of inks and sponged some distress ink around the edges. To give a little more contrast for the petals, I used a white Prismacolor pencil. Lastly, I added another patterned paper to my card base and attached the image panel. This card measures 3 7/8" x 5 3/8" .</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Well, this is all for my card today but my Bloomie sisters have really created some of the most beautiful cards for your inspiration and that Marcella is sure to have an amazing post over at <a href="http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Bloom Central</b></span></a> to tell you all about <i>her</i> inspiration behind this lovely stamp set. Make sure you leave a little blog love at your stops along the way. I am so happy you could stop by today, and I hope you'll pop in tomorrow for Day 2 Power Poppy's Natural Wonders stamp release...I think you will be "hoppy" to see a familiar image making her debut in polymer. :) Until then, take care!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Hello there
and happy September to all of you! Can
you <i>believe</i> that we are already in to
September? <i>Where</i> did the summer go?
Although, I will miss those lazy summer days, I have to admit that I
love Fall and all the wonderful things that come with the season! Cooler temperatures, shorter days, falling
leaves, football games, and the giddy feeling I get with the back to school
rush. Call me sentimental, but even
after more years than I care to admit since I’ve been in school, I <i>still </i>feel the need to go shopping for
pencils, pens, paper pads, books, and all of the fun little things that you do
to prepare for a new school year! It's also time for a new <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy</b></span></a> Power & Spark Challenge....and <i>I</i> get to be the hostess! </span>So how
about a challenge that will inspire you to “Hit the Books”? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You can use an image containing books, or how
about a neat book print designer paper, or even create a book mark or book
cover? <i>Whatever</i> you decide, just make

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So, for my project I decided to make a book cover and book mark. Did you ever have to make book covers for your school books? I used to look forward to covering and decorating my books each year! I started by covering my little book with some craft wrapping paper and then made a belly band with a couple of patterned papers and some machine stitching for my book front. Next, I printed an image and sentiment from <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy's</b></span></a> digital stamp set <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/digital-stamps/products/apples-in-season"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Apples in Season</b></span></a> on to white card stock and colored it with Copics. After die cutting my image, I layered it with some green card stock and adhered it to my book cover.</span></div>

After coloring the image with Copics, I assembled my book mark, added a bit of patterned paper and green card stock, and finished it with some ribbon.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hello there and welcome back to another <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy</b></span></a> Friday inspiration post. I sure hope all is well where you are! All is good here....hot...<i>and HUMID</i>....but all good! :) Today I have a petite card to share with you using <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Power Poppy's</span></a> </b></span><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/geraniums-take-two"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Geraniums Take Two</b></span></a> stamp set.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I started by stamping my image and sentiment with Memento's Tuxedo Black ink on to white card stock. After die cutting my image, I colored it with Copics and added a little Ranger Distress ink in Antique Linen. I also used some Papertrey Ink Chai and Chamomile inks then added some shimmer with a Wink of Stella clear brush pen. I adhered my image panel to a die cut card base layered with a bit of patterned paper. The finished card measures 3 1/4" x 4 1/2".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This image was a very quick color up....I stippled the blooms with a few shades of red....nothing precise at all...just some color to make them pop. I just love this sweet scene....complete with a little spritz can! I am always amazed at Marcella's creativity and attention to every detail. :)</span><br />

All that was left was to add a bit of sheer ribbon and adhere it to a card base. The finished size of this card is 3 5/8" x 4 7/8".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hello there, friend! I hope all has been well with you. It's been great around here....just <i>hot</i>! And <i>humid</i>! You know, the typical Georgia summer! :) I have a few flowers blooming right now that really don't mind the heat....some lavender Phlox and Black Eyed Susan... and I am enjoying what blooms the deer have left for me....lol. We have a family living in the back yard between us and our neighbor. The mama brought her baby to our front porch earlier this week. O<i>h</i> how precious that baby is right now, all long legs and wide eyes! Even though sometimes their dining on our flowers can be a problem, we still enjoy seeing them each year. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hello, hello, hello! Happy Friday to you and welcome for a <i>slightly</i> delayed <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy</b></span></a> Friday post! I hope this lovely day finds you well. I have a quick little card to share with you today using Power Poppy's new set, <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/creative-and-curious/products/hellebore-and-hyacinth"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Hellebore and Hyacinth</b></span></a>, paired with a sentiment from the <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/nice-things-to-say"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Nice Things to Say</b></span></a> stamp set. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For my card I stamped the hyacinth image onto white card stock with Memento's Tuxedo Black ink, colored it with Copics, and die cut it. Next, I stamped my sentiment and stitched a little patterned paper in the corner. Lastly, I adhered the image panel to my card base. This card measures 5" x 3 5/8". </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have to say, I was <i>really</i> excited to see these previously digital images make it to a clear stamp set. Don't get me wrong, <i>digis are wonderful</i>, but there is just something so special about stamping it out, don't you think? :) As always, the <i>incredible</i> detail that Marcella added makes this a snap to color up!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So that is all for my card today, but some of my Bloomie sisters have some Friday inspiration for you, so make sure you check it out and leave a little blog love while you are there. Make sure you check out the <a href="http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy blog</b></span></a> too for all the latest happenings at Bloom Central! :) I hope you have a great day AND weekend. Hope to see you around again soon...until then, take care! :)</span><br />

Today is pretty special because several of the Power Poppy designers are hopping with <a href="http://www.thedailymarker.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>The Daily Marker</b></span></a> for the latest <a href="http://www.thedailymarker.com/2018/06/day-1-the-daily-marker-30-day-coloring-challenge/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>30 Day Coloring Challenge</b></span></a>! Have you ever played along in this? The incredibly talented and oh-so-engaging Kathy Racoosin hosts this wonderful challenge to encourage <i>all</i> of us to take time to color....even if it is for just a few minutes a day! What a great idea!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So in the spirit of this challenge, I have a few stepped out photos of part of the coloring for my card. This is the first time I have attempted to step out coloring photos, and to be honest, I had already colored up my foliage before I remembered to take photos.....so all I have is the bloom that I colored. I chose to use Power Poppy's new stamp set <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/abundant-petals"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Abundant Petals</b></span></a> and the companion <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/coordinating-dies/products/abundant-petals-coordinating-dies"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>dies</b></span></a> for my images and the <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/dream-wedding"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Dream Wedding</b></span></a> stamp set for my sentiment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I started by using R30 to lay some color down. I did not completely color my bloom but I will later.....I like to leave some white space at first because I can <i>always</i> go back and add more! :)</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Next, I added R32 to the areas that would naturally be darker or shadowed...again leaving a little room to add more later.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After the R35, I went back with my R32 and R30 to smooth some of the brush strokes out and extend the color closer to the petal edges.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The last step is to smooth things out a bit with my R35, R32, and R30 and add a touch of V12 for a little more interest and to pick up some of the color from my patterned paper for my card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Using the accompanying dies for the image stamp set was so handy and made this arrangement a snap to cut out. I wanted to play along with <a href="http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/2018/06/june-challenge-lets-go-round-round.html"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy's latest Power & Spark</b></span></a> challenge hosted by the super talented and equally adorable <a href="http://twinshappy.blogspot.com/2018/06/rounder-up-at-power-poppy.html"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Stacy Morgan</b></span></a> so I made a round card. You have all month to play along with this challenge so check it out and don't forget to link up your entry on the <a href="http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy blog</b></span></a>....because a <i>$50 shopping spree</i> in the <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/all"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy store</b></span></a> is up for grabs! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My card base is a couple of scalloped round die cuts in dark and light gray card stocks layered with a couple of patterned papers stitched together. I did add some shimmer with my Wink of Stella clear brush pen to the leaves and petals. Then I added some gold leafing around the image panel with a Krylon 18 KT gold leafing pen. To give the gold leafing an aged look, I lightly sanded it. I also added some sponging to the card with Papertrey Ink's Chamomile and Chai inks. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hello there and a very happy Friday to you! I sure hope you have had a wonderful week. I have a simple petite card to share with you today featuring one of the newest <span style="color: #e06666;"><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy</b></span></a> </span>stamp sets, <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/wild-mushrooms"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Wild Mushrooms</b></span></a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I started by stamping my image with Memento's Tuxedo Black ink onto some white card stock. After coloring my image with Copics, I touched up some of the areas on the mushrooms with a white Prismacolor pencil then die cut the image. I stamped my sentiment on to a strip of patterned paper and adhered it to my image panel. I decided to add another little strip of patterned paper and then adhered it all to my die cut card base. This finished card measures 3 1/4" x 4 1/2".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If you have not gotten this stamp set yet, you <i>really</i> should put this one on "the list".....these images are incredibly detailed and are <i>so</i> much fun to color!! </span><br />

I looked these up to get a color reference but truly, you could color these up any ol' way you wanted to.....or, I am quite certain they would be darling just stamped and no color at all if you were so inclined. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So that is all for my card today, but some of my Bloomie sisters have created some lovely cards for your Friday inspiration.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For my card today, I chose to use an image and sentiment from the <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/precious-baby"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Precious Baby</b></span></a> set. YES...<a href="https://powerpoppy.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Power Poppy's</b></span></a> <i>first</i> baby set....can you believe it?! :) <i>All</i> of the images in this set are <i>beyond</i> adorable and I know I will be using this set often for baby cards, but I just <i>had</i> to start with the little baby pea pod! Once I colored my image with Copics, I die cut it and started layering with a bunch of die cut layers from card stock and patterned paper. I fussy cut and colored an extra pair of leaves to add for a little more greenery. The baby is fussy cut and layered for some added dimension. I added my die cut sentiment and some shimmer with a Wink of Stella clear brush pen to finish the card. My idea was to make a pea pod and have my image be one of the peas....kind of a pea pod within a pea pod. :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Marcella gives us a heart shaped bouquet and her very own toile design with bees.....how <i>awesome</i> is that?! For my card today, I chose to use the <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/always-here"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Always Here</b></span></a> stamp set and to <i>really</i> get up close and personal on some of those blooms, I cropped the image into a circle using a die. Once I stamped and colored this dreamy image with Copics, I used an equally dreamy Marianne Designs die set for my card base. I also used a Spellbinders circle and scalloped circle for more layering. I used a Krylon 18 KT Gold Leafing pen around the image circle and then added some shimmer with my Wink of Stella clear brush pen before adhering everything together.</span><br />
