Hi there everybody and Happy Thursday to you! I just wanted to share a card I made using some of Power Poppy's new stamps from this month's release...Springtime Love and Good Thinking: Renewal. Both of these sets certainly deserve a place in your stamp room! For my card today I drew some inspiration from a common household item....you can read more about that and see more pictures on my blog. I tried my hand at coloring with just blue Copic markers....I am pretty happy with how it turned out and I will definitely be trying this coloring technique more often. As you can see I used my beloved "Anja's Squares" die set from Marianne Design and also pulled out a leafing pen, but this time I used silver. The card is basically layers of die cuts with Marcella's beautiful Springtime image as the focal point. A little tag and some ribbon finish it off. If you haven't already, you should check out Power Poppy's website and blog and make some of these gorgeous stamp sets your own! Thanks so much for taking a peek and I hope you have a great day!

Saw this on your blog and commented, Katie, but I just had to leave some HUGS here too! This is gorgeous, and I agree with my friend Becky, this set is going to be mine soon! Hugs, sweet friend!

Your card is so stunning. I love how you colored it, looks like Blue Willow ceramics. I just may have to add this set to my collection as well. It is so beautiful.
