good morning! I wanted to combine a couple of things today - the gorgeous inspiration print I chose from the artist featured in this week's Inspiration Challenge. Wonderful choice, Stef!
I also used my Nestabilities to cut and emboss the scalloped oval. Have you seen the tutorials on the home page today? Hard to tell here, but really, they're embossed!
The poppies were stamped on Basic Grey cardstock, colored with Copics, and cut out two or three times and then layered with dimensionals. It's a little preview of what we'll do for Wednesday's tutorial! ;)
