Wow. I have to say Poppy Parade is an under used color for me...but I think it is gorgeous with Soft Suede!
So, For the Doily. Cut a strip of VVanilla, used temporary adhesive to position in center of card. Stamped over the two layers in versamark, pulling the Vanilla strip away to clear emboss.
After embossing, brayered Soft Suede ink over Vanilla strip. My fingers smeared and smudged it like crazy, that's why i added other pieces. :-)
Poinsetta bough stamped in Soft Suede, Poinsetta colored in with Poppy Parade marker. Cut out popped up with dimensionals.
I also have to share I typically hate the scallop trim border punch...but in this case it adds just the right touch!

Wonderful card. I love the combo of Bells & Boughs and Hello, Doily. And I love that placard. Great colors, too. You've made poppy parade come alive to me.
Thanks for sharing a lovely card.
