This week we are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps...be sure to check out the CASology blog for all the details!
I recently purchased this Memory Box "Prim Poppy" die and I couldn't wait to use it. (It falls in the category of "NBUS," I dare say!) I paired it with an old Hero Arts sentiment that fit the cue perfectly this week! I added Glossy Accents to the blooms for some interest.
As previously mentioned, I did use some "Never Before Used Schtuff" (i.e., NBUS), so I am entering this card into Darnell's NBUS Challenge #4. Check it out, especially if you are using some never-before-used stamping supplies for this week's cue!
I can't wait to see your take on STYLE this week! Be sure to link up your card by noon on Monday (Central time). Be sure to visit our Design Team and Guest Designer for more inspiration!

Beautiful! I love how you've grounded your poppies with the pale sponged stripe!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ardyth! That soft vanilla background is actually stamped with an old Hero Arts shadow stamp.

Am I a weirdo? When I saw your poppies, my mouth was watering. Lol! It looks so yummy to eat like a candy. :) Gorgeous card with perfect sentiment, Judy!
ReplyDeleteGirl, you certainly have awesome style! This is one very cool, very elegant card. Love those glossy poppies. This is so lovely! Awesome card. Bev
ReplyDeleteThe glossy accents really make the poppies shine.
ReplyDeleteThis is truly stylish and elegant, Judy! I never tire of that poppy die. I love that you used a stamped panel behind the poppies and added all that shine and dimension by glossing them! Your panel reminds me of the HA shadow stamps that were all the rage when I started out a dozen years ago. I still have them, so I think I might bring them out and we will make them popular again, eh? Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #4!! Mwah! Darnell
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Judy! Love the shine on those flowers, the clean style of the card, and the placement of the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Judy

I have to agree with May, Judy! Those poppies do look delicious! That glossy accents really adds such a beautiful, rich dimension! It reminded me of glossy lipstick. So elegant, and perfectly matched with that sentiment!
