Make it a Tall One!

Welcome to the first official Power & Spark challenge of 2016 for Power Poppy! I’m excited about this challenge because I always love the look of a tall card and that’s what our first challenge is… to STRETCH YOURSELF.... maybe a TALL card or a trying a new technique to you?  Super easy right!?  The possibilities are endless!

For all of this month’s challenge details and rules, click here!  Good luck!

For my tall card I decided to use a few of my favourite Power Poppy stamp sets. The cardinals and their cups is from the “Cozy Cupfuls”, the 2 piece sentiment is from the “So Grateful” set and the bows & hearts are from the “Good Thinking: Love Notes” collection.

Here’s a close up of the back ground…

And since I was having so much fun, I decided to make a second one with a slightly different back ground.

And here’s a close up of the second back ground…

Now, off you go and check out what the amazing Bloom Brigade has put together for you today for our fun tall card challenge…

Love how you stretched the use of these birds from a Christmas set! And love both of your very creative backgrounds. What a darling idea and just so pretty, Ally!

Oh, wow!! Ally, these are absolutely so beautiful, and you've colored this precious image so gorgeously! What depth and vibrant colors, and I LOVE the backgrounds! You are so clever and creative - you are the bomb! I love these, and I have got to get this out and make something. I so love these precious birds that are clearly in LOVE! Hehe! Beautifully done, Ally, and you sure made me smile with these! Hugs!

Ally I really like how you’ve combined these sets! Such smart eye-catching designs. The cardinals suit the hearts and arrows perfectly! Such beautiful use of colour too!
