Painted Poppies paired with So Sentimental Bundle....a stunning combination!

Happy Friday Stampers! 

You ever have one of those weeks where you had such good intentions, plans set, but then WHAM! life throws you a curveball and there go all your plans!  LOL!  Yep, you guessed it, this was my week.  

I had intentions of sharing creating and sharing four Poppy cards with you this week. . . but that did not happen.  My apologies for that. 

However, the good news is that I am here now with inspiration card number two.  Check out this beauty and a trick/tip:

Here is the color palette for my card: 

 

I cannot say enough good things about this GORGEOUS bundle of products. . . I am addicted!  

The beautiful designer series papers make the cards pop with vibrant colors.  

My card base is Poppy Parade 8.5 x 5.5 scored at 4.25
My dsp layer is 4x5.25
I wrapped black satin ribbon around the dsp layer prior to gluing it to the card base. 
The sentiment mat layer is Basic Black
The sentiment layer is Whisper White
The poppies were also stamped on Whisper White. 

Now for the trick/tip.  I used the So Sentimental bundle for the greeting and greeting tag.  This bundle is WONDERFUL. . . can use it for SO MANY different occasions and you can pair the dies with other greetings as well!  Bonus! 

I die stamped and die cut the greeting.....then I took my paper snips and cut along the stitched line all the way around....easy peasy.....and that allowed the black layer to mat perfectly behind it making the greeting POP!  Cool huh! 

After I got my card put together I wanted to give it a little something special so I grabbed my Wink of Stella and brushed it over the flowers making them shimmer and shine.  Here is a closeup:
