Welcome back to Creative Cards for 2020.  I’ve had 12 months off travelling and eager to get back in to classes and would love you to join me. 

Our cards this month use Peaceful Poppies suite.  The images are just beautiful.
Our first card uses the beautiful dsp Peaceful Poppies.  Sentiment is from the stamp set Peaceful Moments and I’ve use the Stampin Write Markers to colour the words using poppy parade and blackberry bliss. Using the Painted Labels dies I have cut out the swirly label from vellum. Base card is blackberry bliss.

The second card is using Delightfully Detailed Note Cards from The Clearance Rack and I have stamped the flowers in memento Tuxedo Black and coloured the flowers in using Stampin Blends

This month we will experiment with The Stamparatus doing the wreath technique.

This technique is great for using any small image together with a template and a square piece of card.  You can aff extra images to add variety.

This first card uses the leaf from Rooted in Nature and is stamped in pool party, lemon lime twist, old olive and Bermuda Bay.

The flower on this card is from the Painted Glass stamp set.

This card also uses the stamp set Painted Glass.  Both were cased from here   

The circles on this card are from the stamp set Swirly Frames. I just love the way this one turned out.
