My Painted Poppies Birthday Card

One thing I love about going to Stampin’ Up! Events is that you get to play with new products! My Painted Poppies Birthday Card is one of the cards that we made at OnStage in November. Love the new Peaceful Poppies Suite! For this card I even coloured the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon with a Dark Old Olive Blend to match my project! The Designer Series Paper is gorgeous and features handpainted blooms and watercolor washes that make beautiful backgrounds or focal points for cards, scrapbook pages, and other paper crafts. Patterns include floral prints, stripes, polka dots, and more.
