Blessed

I'm still taking advantage of the "stay in because it's freezin' season" mindset, how about you? It was a good time to use a couple of new products from those holiday sales! This card will be heading to the gallery over at The Paper Players. 

Take a look...

Anne Marie is hosting and has asked for cards with black, white plus a pop of bold color. Red popped into my mind! I picked up a 12x12 sheet of scrapbook paper at JoAnn last summer. It was covered in pretty little houses with leaves and flowers tucked behind them. I used it here with my new cover plate from Mama Elephant. Oh my goodness, I'll probably use it until you are all sick of seeing it! It's topped with a pretty MB Poppy die. I just realized I added the front petal upside down. I'll fix it before mailing! The leaves are from the Altenew Weekend Doodles set. Hope you like it!

Thanks so much for taking a peek. Have a blessed day.

Gosh, I love that paper! It looks fabulous with the cover plate and the red poppy. I didn't notice the upside down petal. I think it looks like the poppy is dancing! Our weather is blowing and rainy and chilly, but could be worse. I had to be out taking care of business yesterday, but today I'm staying home!

I love your layering of paper and the cover plate. Those little houses are so sweet behind the bold flowers with their black and white leaves. And the sentiment is just right.
