Power Poppy Enchanted Garden Clear Stamp Release Day

After five days of Enchanted Garden previews, release day is finally here!  It's been a lot to take in, but I hope you've enjoyed it.  I've had a ball!  Today, the Power Poppy Bloom Brigade and Instant Gardeners are joined by the Ellen Hutson team for a big ol' hop with all kinds of different samples.





*** WE'VE GOT FUN PRIZES! ***
  

We are giving away $25 to the Ellen Hutson shop and $25 to the Power Poppy shop.  To enter for a chance to win, be sure to leave comments at each stop along the hop.  Two random & lucky commenters will win!  Comment before Sunday, July 7th at 11:59pm PST. Winners will be notified by email.


Gee, I just happen to have an extra Floribunda card...




I watercolored this one vividly with Tombow markers.  Notice the oval cutaway.  That's the space that was left after I cut the oval for yesterday's card. I gave it a gold edge and a gold heart and two of the awesome sentiments that come with the set.




Here's a list to everyone in the hop:

Leslie Miller (that's me)


What a fun way to wrap things up!

Treat yourself to a stop at the Power Poppy Blog, too.  See the entire Enchanted Garden Collection here.

Thank you so much for all the time you've spent with me this week.  Can you believe it's July already?  Sheesh!  Have a wonderful summer day!

This border in itself is gorgeous, but when colored it takes my breath away. When used with a sentiment like this.... well, Hallmark could not do better. This is why we make beautiful cards.
