Poppy Stamps Blooming Garden

I had a few minutes to play and decided to make a card for the Poppy Stamps Challenge Blooming Garden. Again many of the card parts were on my desk from other projects.  I learned from Jennifer McGuire that you never bring out a medium for a background and just make one. She creates many more than I ever do, but while I have certain colors I am working with I make several and put them in a background container for future use.




 I cut the Sylvan Sprig Poppy stamp die and then went to my flower stash for a flower. This one was made from a Cheery Lynn daisy strip.  The sentiment dies were still on my desk from a card I did earlier. I liked the combination so I used it again. The Happy is from Karen Burniston and the Birthday is Sue Wilson.  I love frames and have several. I love mixing them together. I used an IO frame on the outside and a Frantic Stamper on the inside frame for this design.

    This is as pretty as your cards always are, Kathy! Beautiful background and I LOVE the lattice frame. All things lattice are a hit with me. Interesting to read your words that give me a picture of your stamping habits. I also have a background container (small drawer). Since I finally bought oxide inks I play and make a bunch whenever I have them out. I really like the look of this one you made. The happy birthday looks like the two dies were meant for each other. I don't have a flower container. Hmmm... maybe I should. Your daisy-like flower is so delicately pretty and sure coordinates nicely with your background. Finally, the Sylvan Sprig is one of my all time favorite dies. You probably have a few go to favorites, too. Fun to read your post today and see your gorgeous card!

    I too love the use of the lattice border and I can even copy you are I have one. The soft colors of this card make it so attractive and anyone would be happy to have received it from you. I recently began using up some of the dies and backgrounds that have accumulated. Not sure how that happens.
