Be Strong, Be You!

Happy Friday everyone!  TGIF… I need a rest but for the next week and a half, NO rest for me!  I’m getting ready to take my Cubs to camp the first weekend in June so we’re in “prep mode”!  Now let's get on to the card making…

This month for Power Poppy, our Power & Spark Challenge is all about…
FLOWERS! 

For all the challenge details, click here!  Come and play along!

So I strolled through all my amazing bloom images for Power Poppy and final decided to pull out my “Orchids Rock” clear stamp set to play with this week.  I even drew inspiration from our lovely challenge hostess this month, Katie Sims, and pulled out my gold pen and some vintage papers to play with…
Copics Used: R05, Y23, Y26, Y28, YR0000,BG90, BG93, YG93, YG95, YG97, W00, W0, W1

And here’s a close up of the luscious blooms, which I gave them a little bit of sparkle…

Now, come along and visit each of my fellow Bloom Brigade members to check out what they’re sharing this week…

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great weekend!  I hope you enjoy the creative journey today!

Oh, Ally, this is one gorgeous card with this amazing orchid! I love your colors and the great layout! And this wonderful orchid is simply beautiful! And I'm sure she is "sparkling" with beauty IRL! And I see you've even done some real stitching on your card! Love it all, sweet friend! Big hugs!

Oh, my word! The blooms with the papers come together in amazing fabulousness! You've always got something clever up your sleeve. Prep mode is grueling. I remember those days! It's going to turn out fun for everyone, though!
