With Love from Me to You


Hello there and happy, happy Thursday!  I'm popping in with a CAS little number for the current Runway Inspired challenge.  I'm going to be honest and say I love this card more in real life than I do on the old computer screen.  I took inspiration from the stripes and embossed some gold stripes on the bottom of the sentiment panel.  I think added the Verve sentiment and poppies.  It took everything in me not to stamp the leaves in green. I'm a rule follower when it comes to colors or as Erin would say, "I'm a literal girl!"  So I was quite proud that I stuck with the black leaves as it felt a bit trendier.  What about you?  Literal? Trendy?  Neither?!

Lovely (no surprise there). Funny about literal or trendy. Check out my card - I have black flowers!

This is the winner. I called it. This is such a creative take on the inspiration, and even better, even without the inspiration photo, it's a gorgeous, gorgeous card! Very clever!

I'm loving it on the screen so I'm sure it is a stunner in real life :) Gorgeous use of the poppy and the overlap is brilliant. Loving the black leaves too - I'm a rule follower and literal person too :)

This card is stunning and it's given me a great idea for a card for my father-in-law. Well done for not colouring the leaves!!

I'm a rule breaker for some things, but a good Catholic girl for others! ;) Perfect call for the black leaves...that poppy is stunning with the 3 different stamped colours. Have a fantastic weekend! ox

Oh, yes! This is beautiful! I'm very literal, but I like to break the rules sometimes. I think your black leaves are perfect!

Luanne said...

I have trouble leaving loads of white space, but then I see this fabulous card and think, why? Wonderful inspiration!

Lisa Elton said...

Wow this is gorgeous!! Love the popped up panel with the bit of flower on it!!

Aimes said...

Lovin the trendy, graphic nature of those black leaves! You didn't break a rule, you just made a new cool one! :D

Things I love about your card: The gold stripes, the lovely flower, the black leaves, and the fonts in the sentiment. Way to rock it! Thanks so much for joining us on the Runway!

Everything about this card is beautiful!!

Totally literal. I have to force myself to not colour something it's "real life" colour. I always admire when other people do it - I just have to shift gears in my literal brain! LOL!
As for your card - it rocks! I love the popped up panel and that flower is gorgeous!!

Goodness, this card is an absolute stunner! I'm going to have to case that technique!
