pretty poppies


Making cards is a rarity for me these days as I have enough on my stash to meet my demand for cards throughout the year.  However, I feel guilty as I still have some stamps that remain uninked after months of sitting prettily on my desk.  So I decided to make new ones for our recent craft show. 

I must admit that when it comes to cards, I tend to CASE or get lots of inspiration from cards I see on my favourite crafty blogs.  I enjoy it more if I can dive right into stamping as soon as I sit on my desk to create rather than spend time "designing" my card.  There are already a lot of beautiful cards out there so why waste time reinventing the wheel?  Can you tell, that is my way of justifying myself when I am too lazy to think?

So this first set of cards was inspired by Nicole's recent Mums the Word card over at Papertrey.  I thought this card was so elegant and relatively easy to mass produce.



 
And here is my version....


I used Papertrey's Background Basics: Text and Botanical Silhouettes.  The poppies are from Lisa Johnson's Pretty Poppies set from MFT.

But wait, there're more...






Here they are together...




Thanks for stopping by!
