Hello all and happiest of Friday's to you all! I sure hope that the sun is shining and the flowers are starting to bloom in your neck of the woods! Being in the northern part of the country, I am just starting to see daffodils and hyacinth sprout and the little spots of color are just so heart-warming! It's like these little creations have personalities all their own! I love the jewel tones and just the over all dainty feel of these tiny plants! I digress!
Before I get to my creation, I did want to share a special post I helped write over on the Power Poppy Blog HERE sharing some news about one of my fellow Bloomies, Leslie Miller. I truly I wish this dear lady ALL THE BEST!!!!
For this Friday, I did have a quickie card to share and it's all inspired by the latest round of CardMaps over at PageMaps! This is a peek at my sketch....
And this is my take on it using Power Poppy's My English Rose stamp set!
A quick and easy "how to" goes a little something like this: stamp using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, fussy cut and cut out just some of the foliage. Color using Copic Markers in these shades: R01, RV0000, R81, R83, R85, G20, G40, and G43. The rest is just using scraps of decorative paper to follow the sketch. add a doily and threaded button and... ta da! I also added a little paper piecing for a finishing touch around my sentiment. And that, my friends, is it! Some of the other members of the Power Poppy team took the Cardmaps sketches for a test drive as well and so, if you want a little more inspiration, I have good news! It is just a click away! HERE!
And here's a look at the close up!
And that, my friends, is it! Time now to take a break and check in on the rest of the Bloom Brigade! ;-)

Julie, I love your card, and what a great sketch! Beautiful papers, and what a beautifully colored and fussy cut rose - stunning! Your finishing touches are so lovely, and what a precious sentiment....must get that one out soon. You've really delighted me with your card!! I loved the post today about our sweet Leslie's farewell, and I know you will miss her dearly as will we all! She is so dear, and I know she will enjoy more time and still post Power Poppy cards. She's a real sweetheart! Hugs!
OOO I love how pretty this sketch looks with all that lovely paper! The peachy tones are gorgeous. A perfect little button too Julie!
