A big congrats to Vicki, the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS329)! What a wonderful gallery she has! I chose her Thanks card to case. I kept the layout and flower theme, but I used different images, different colors and a different embossing folder.
I had a background I had water colored using reinkers, and I liked the colors, so I stamped the poppy image on top. I really wanted a white bg like Vicki’s so I fussy cut the poppies and placed them on a very lightly sponged die cut oval. A bow and die cut tag w/ the sentiment were added. I used a strip of dp and for the very narrow orangey strip, I just ran an apricot Copic marker down a piece of white c/s to get the color. The white bg was embossed and then everything was attached to my 4.25 x 5.50 white card. I added a bow (it was white and I colored it w/ Copics) and a few black pearls to finish it.
Congrats again and enjoy your week, Vicki! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great Memorial Day!

Julie, this is just stunning – it looks like a real life bouquet of flowers. Gorgeous!
So beautiful. The bright colours really pop. You have so much patience for fussy cutting.
Would love to subscribe by e-mail but that option is not working tonight. This is my first visit and I can’t wait until I get time to spend a few days touring through your gorgeous work.
