Hi all! Today's card came about on a crafty whim. There's no good reason other than I was flipping through my Power Poppy stamps and came across this oldie. It's meant to be horizontal, but I wondered how it would work as a vertical border. I like it! Very simple.
I colored with Copics, hand cut, and chose another Power Poppy stamp set for the sentiment. You probably can't see it, but after stamping the sentiment I embossed the white panel with SU's Subtle 3D folder, up to the colored border. Applied ribbon and some punched gold dots, added to the red card base. Fun and done!
Do you remember Power Poppy? Having been on Marcella's design team since its inception I have a lot of her stamps, plus the digis. She no longer produces new designs, but there are still a lot of clear stamp sets available in the shop at greatly reduced prices, and the digis continue to be available. I haven't been printing digis since I got fed up with my printer, tsk tsk, but I have every intention of revisiting my Power Poppy and other oldie but goodie stamps more often.
Today's card is a good fit for the Simply Clean & Simple November Challenge where the optional theme is "Christmas is Coming".
I'm glad you could stop by today. We'll do this again real soon!
