Hello friends and Happy Thursday. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and I am the host this time. Since we are right at the 4th of July, I thought it would be nice to have Red, White and Blue as our "Toppings" option. Can't wait to see your cards in our gallery.
I used SU Painted Poppies Stamps and dies. I colored the flowers with SU Real Red and Poppy Parade Blends and fussy cut them out. I stamped the leaves in Night of Navy ink and fussy cut them. The sentiment from Simply Sketched (retired SU) is stamped on a Stitched So Sweetly die cut mounted with foam tape. The flowers are also mounted with foam tape. The pattern paper is from an older 6x6 pad.
Be sure to check out all the great cards by my teammates over at Seize the Birthday and join in our fun challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

Your color combo turned out great on this lovely card. Very different type of paper selection but it sure does blend tog.
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern mix with the lovely red flowers
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colouring on the poppies! I really like the card design as well, and the mix of patterned papers.
ReplyDeleteHey JoAnn, thanks for this appropriate theme on this July 4th. Your card is so handsome and a great example of how you can do Red, White and Blue. I have a fondness for using the patterned papers like you did.
ReplyDeleteA perfect challenge for this week, JoAnn! Love your red poppies and you had the perfect papers and label to back them up!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful how the colors are so neatly spread among the flowers and the pattern papers..and how neatly you've assembled them, each making a distinct impression, but still playing with the whole. Great card, JoAnn!
ReplyDeleteGreat mix of patterned papers with the pretty red poppy, love how you added more blue with the stamping on the leaves. Thanks for the fun theme JoAnn, Cathy x
