Our mix today is to pop it up. I am always afraid of the cards that are fancy-schmancy and popped up so I took paper piecing to the extreme! A few of the petals have 4 layers and so does the leaf!I painted the petals and the leaves with glossy mod podge. I took a wrinkled up kleenex and blotted it in the sage shadow and then put it on image panel and sentiment.

This is such a pretty card. I love the colors. Definitely the colors of spring. I love how you have the flowers stamped on white but you cut away around them leaving the "box" at the bottom. It kinda made me think of a seed packet. The paper you paired with these beautiful dimensional flowers is perfect. JOYFUL is a great sentiment for this card!!

LOVE LOVE that coral/cream gingham bg!! It makes not only a striking card, but such a cheery one too, Pam. Your popped-up floral is beautifully done and love the sage green that you chose as an accent color.

Pam, this is so beautifully done. I love the modge podge you have added and the colors are fantastic. I have some of that ribbon and it was given to me and have no idea where it came from as I have looked at local stores to see if I can find more in other colors as it is super on cards. If you know where I might find more please let me know I am on the hunt. Hugs!

I love your card Pam!! I love that the gingham pattern seems just a touch larger than some. Your flowers are awesome the way you popped them up. I like the pretty brad. There is always something neat and special about joy and so I like that sentiment too. :>)
