That's how this card makes me feel, bright and cheerful. :o) When I saw the new "Sunny Garden" DSP, I knew at once I loved it. I quickly realized it was "Cottage Wall" with new colors, and as much as I adore "Cottage Wall" my new obsession made sense. :oP
I was finally able to delve into the paper last night and put this together whilst Audrey Hepburn and Bogey played out the story of "Sabrina". Ahhh, I do so enjoy old movies. :o)
But, as is typical, I digress...
The sketch was provided by Lesley at Always Playing with Paper for this week's challenge. I couldn't wait to play around with it, but something always got in my way until last night. Let me tell you how much I'm LOVING Poppy Parade! What a rich, BOLD red-orange. It is absolutely fabulous. :o)
And, here's the inside. I've come to love doing a little something on the inside--it makes them just that much more special. I created the layers in here to match the image layers on the outside. Stamped with the corresponding sentiment makes it perfect. :o)
This card uses:
Inks: Poppy Parade, Pear Pizazz, Peach Parfait (A note: I have yet to purchase the In Color stamp pads and so far the markers have worked just fine for me.)
Paper: Whisper White, Poppy Parade, Pear Pizazz, Peach Parfait, Daffodil Delight
Stamp Sets: "Thoughts and Prayers", "Absolutely Fabulous"
Ribbon: 5/8" satin Daffodil Delight, 1/4" striped taffeta Daffodil Delight
Embellishments/Accessories: Beautiful Wings embosslit
I hope the person who receives this finds the card as fabulous as I. :oP

Oh how I am in love with this card. It has my new favorite DSP (which should arrive next week along with my Poppy Parade ink and CS) and one of my favorite colors...Daffodil Delight. I almost always add something to the inside because it just bring the entire card together. This is great!
As usual, Rachael, your cards eclipse all others. This one is absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to get my order so that I can play with this paper.

Love the paper as much as the original colours and the stamp suits the colours nicely. Very Pretty.
This was the first DSP that I purchased. Of course me being strange had to pick the brightest out there. Tee, hee. I, too thought it was the Cottage Wall with different colors. Now I know why I was drawn to it so. Love your card, so cheery and bright! Such a Happy Card, I love Happy Cards! Hope you have a wonderful day.

This IS beautiful! I had china like this one time---all the little flowers were exactly the same colors you've used in your card! Just so precious!

I can't stop looking at this card. it may be the best card ever made! Of course, I love the colors. I am, after all, a Florida girl. The entire layout, stamp used, embellishments, etc. are perfect.
