Not only do you create wonderful works of art that you allow us to color but you bring great meaning to the word friendship and unconditional love of a true friend. I wish you another amazing year of stampy success and beyond for Power Poppy and may it continue to enrich your life as you enrich each of ours! Many ginormous hugs to you! Congrats on your business success my friend! It’s gunna take you places girl…
Love & hugs,
Ally.
Now on to a rather different kind of birthday greeting today…
I decided to go for a blue birdie kinda birthday! Yup… I used a holiday themed stamp for a birthday card. Well… don’t some people have winter birthdays?!?! LOL! I highlighted the blooms and birds by using colour and then leaving the holly to be more of a little textural back ground element; so I left it uncoloured.
If you look a little closer, I used the Paper Tole method of popping up my coloured elements like the birds and the blooms on my card front.
Stay tuned because on SUNDAY we begin our new stamp release sneak peeks! Yup.. we have more Power Poppy beauties to add to your stamping stash!
Now… off you go on a little adventure through the remainder of the lovely and talented Bloom Brigade designer blogs...

Happy Birthday PP. Your card is very pretty. Love that you used those colors with that stamp.
Wouldn't've known they were holiday stamps had you not said. LOVE the Tole and uncolored background which makes the birds and flowers pop!

This is so beautiful... Beautiful layering and depth with the frame you've created.
love the blue in the card. Beautiful card.
what a gorgeous card, and perfect for a winter birthday...but really unless you really looked..who would notice it was holly..could also even use it for a older masculine card!
Beautiful embossing on that dark background and I love how you colored the birds and flowers.

I love that you did something different and used this set, the layering and white embossing against the dark navy is so beautiful Ally!
Oh, Ally, you made this amazing! Why do we always think of holly only for Christmas? It grows wild in our woods year round and there's a big tree which the birds just love right outside my kitchen window. This is soooooo pretty!
Lovely and Happy Birthday !
