Hi Friends,
Here is this week’s challenge over at Just Us Girls hosted by my good friend
and teammate Sharyn!
Here is what I did with the challenge!
I thought it was time to use one of my favorite stamp sets again by Verve,
it’s called Poppy Birthday. I paired it up with this great jar stamp that I picked up at a local craft store!
The flowers were stamped many times using three different papers, fussy cut,
pieced back together, and then raised with some Stampin Up pop dots.
I originally stamped my jar directly on the red paper using black ink, but when it came time
to adding the flower stems, it just didn’t look quite right. So, I broke out my vellum
again and made my jar see through like I have done in the past. Love that look!
The jar is also heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The arrow stamp is something I picked up at Michaels.
I ran my leaves through my Cuttelbug using the Lattice folder.
That pretty much sums up most of my design!

Love the bright red and black together! That jar stamp is great, and I love it in vellum…..makes it look real. Also, crazy about that flower stamp, so happy looking! Great job!

Your choice to use vellum really makes the flowers look like they are in the jar. I haven’t done much paper piecing but maybe it’s time I try it for this challenge.

Love the vellum jar and it does look like the flowers are in the jar. I like how you paper-pieced the different DSP for the flowers – so pretty. Great color combo also. TFS
