HOW TO PLAY: The Power & Spark "Stretch Yourself" Challenge is a DOUBLE challenge. We want you to start by stretching yourself with a tall card format AND then stretch your creativity by trying a new technique or using a new product that you've been wanting to try in your creative pursuits but haven't yet!
You will have to click on over to the Power Poppy Blog HERE to see hostess Tosha Leyendekker's amazing creation! That's also where you'll find all the official rules as well as details on how you can link up your card and have a shot at winning a Power Poppy stamp set of YOUR choice!
On to my creation...
As you can see, I did whip up a "tall" format card and mixed and matched some simple pink and green papers. I thought with the design on the simple side, I could showcase not only the new digital stamp set Hellebores from Power Poppy, but I could accentuate the image with one of my new stitched circle dies. I ran a large circle through my die cut machine just to emboss and then I used the smaller sized die to make the cut on the inside to create a kind of adorned frame.
See?

Along the bottom, I printed the sentiment that also comes with the Hellebores digital stamp, I love this quote, so perfect for many of us who hope to tackle some resolutions this year. ;-) After that, I added a little bow with some white seam binding ribbon, a little green button and ta da! That, my friends, is it!
Some of my fellow Bloomies did some stretching as well! Hop on over to see what they whipped up and then, get creating yourself!

Beautiful card Julie. I like how you positioned the focal image off to the side. Colouring is wonderful. Cheers.
A fabulous design for a tall card and, of course, amazing coloring. Love how you kept it somewhat simple. Pretty pink and green combo, too!
Your Hellebores are beautiful Julie. The circle framing is awesome. Beautiful card.
Julie, what a gorgeous card, and I love the stretched card shape! And your beautifully colored hellebore is so lovely in the adorned frame - I really love it for a special touch. And the seam binding with that sweet buttton finish it beautifully. Absolutely gorgeous!! Hugs!
What a great tall layout Julie, I love offset designs, but I really love how the embossed stitched circles look framing this, so sharp!
