For today's TLC we are using the Building Blocks Card tutorial - you'll find a link to the tutorial in the first post of the challenge thread.
I used Bazzill Card Shoppe for my base (actually, I found that a little heavy and will try lighter card next time), and Basic Grey Mellow for my DP.
I cut the blocks as per the tutorial, and used various different Mellow designs for my inside. Originally, I'd been going to use tumbling leaves and not letters on the blocks - but after I picked out the stamp to use on the front, suitable words for the inside were easy to pick out . I added stitching lines in black or white almost everywhere, and a couple more of the little punched butterflies beside the Prim Poppies.

I love this! the dp is wonderful, and the poppies look great in the stripe. Using the white around the rectangles for the letters makes them pop!! thanks for a fun challenge!!
