Poppy card

Hello crafty friends!

Have you ever not known what to make, 

what to stamp, 

what to do?

That's how I was feeling yesterday.

I wanted to work on something and didn't have any direction,

so I got out this stamp, which I love, and stamped it onto a page from an old book.

I colored it with water color crayons and loved how it looked.

Not knowing what I'd do with it, I cute it down.

I knew I wanted to put it on a card and from there it just kind of happened.

I inked the edges, just took my blending tool and used what was on the brown pad.

I had a scrap of card stock that matched nicely, so I put it onto that and used my

Perfect Layers Mini tools and my Perfect Cutting Mat from

Perfect Paper Crafting

to cut a perfect mat.

Then I eyed the pieces of hand made paper that I had gotten from an art show.

I adhered it to that and just tore around the edges.  

Loved it!

Now for the sentiment.

I pulled out a set of stamps that I got from Simon Says Stamp

"All Occasion Banners"

and decided on Praying for You

then I spotted a scrap of the hand made paper that I had torn off the

image piece and stamped it onto that.

Adhered it all to a kraft card stock card base 

and was done.

And I love it!

Funny how sometimes the cards that have no plan,

no forethought,

no direction

end up being the ones that you love the most.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you have been inspired in some way.
