Good morning. I hope you had a great weekend. I sure did. One of the physicians I work with took the office staff out for dinner Saturday night and we had a great time. I had to do the normal weekend laundry and cooking for the week but I also got got to make a couple of cards for Splitcoaststampers challenges.
My first project was made using a Poppies image from the Rubbernecker Bold Florals Collection.
I stamped the image with versa on watercolor paper and embossed with gold embossing powder. I painted the image using reinkers mixed with water and then cut it out to pop up over the dotted embossed background, I thought the fluffy multi loop bow was the perfect finishing touch.
For my second project I used a Stampavie Gillian Roberts image called Picking Cherries.
I created the quilted background by cutting one inch squares of different designer paper and attaching them to a piece of scrap cardstock. I stamped the image with black versafine and painted with reinkers mixed with water. I stamped a few extra clumps of cherries to cut and pop up over the original image to add a little dimension. I attached the ribbon to the quilted layer and then attached to a white card base.
I hope you have a great week. I can hardly believe we are already in the middle of January. Time seems to fly by so fast.

Gorgeous!!! I love both of them, but those poppies are just totally stunning! The softness of the pink with the gold is very striking! I really love what you do with the reinkers. I must give this a try on something other than my scenic cards!
Both of these are stunning Kittie. Such beautiful work.
The first is just beautiful, you have reminded me of a stamp I have like that, may have to break it out again. your second card is just adorable!
Gorgeous and precious! The first one is pure gorgeous-ness. The little girl picking cherries is just a precious image! The d/p, colors and coloring ~ just beautifully done, Kittie!
