I'm back with 2 cards for a few different challenges. The first is for this week's Muse Challenge #159. Jenni Murray inspired us with this beautiful card:
A very sweet friend recently sent this beautiful Poppy Trio stamp to me...Love these gorgeous poppies! I colored them with Copic markers, and framed the design in the same way Jenni did.

This is the first time I'm playing along at PTI's Make it Monday challenge. This week, Laurie Willison shared how she uses score lines on her cards in This Video. I love her CAS designs, and how she adds interest to her cards with this technique, so I decided to create a card using my new stamps/dies.
The score lines are in the lower right-hand corner, and hard to see on screen, so here is a close-up:
The feathers are from PTI What the Doodle mini stamp set, and the sentiment is from Birds & Blooms Anniversary stamp set (no longer available). I blended two shades of blue behind the feathers and added a little silver thread for fun!
So, that's it for me today...Thanks so much for stopping by,
SUPERB!! It's absolutely gorgeous! I love your Poppy Trio. You really put the stamps into great use! Your scored lines on your 2nd card is sensational! Love it so much!
