SSS Poppy Pods

Today's cards feature my Poppy Pods die.  For my first card, I adhered several die cuts onto a panel of bright yellow cardstock to create a patterned paper background.  I added a bit of black inking around he edges to really make the center of the panel pop.  A black mat also helps to really set off the panel against the white card base.

For the sentiment, I used the Hello die that comes with the Stromanthe coordinating die.  The shadow piece was cut in black as a base, and the sentiment piece was cut from Gold Matte and black.  The black letters were then inlaid into the gold outline over the shadow piece.  The completed sentiment was then popped up with foam tape.

Next, a monochromatic card.  

To start, I stamped one of the large images from the Vintage Blossoms stamp set onto a dark gray cardstock panel several times with Versamark ink to create a patterned background.

I then die cut the Poppy Pods using Shimmer Vellum.  I can't tell you how excited I am about this vellum.  The die cut was adhered with Bearly Art glue, and t's opaque enough that you don't see the adhesive!  

The Basic Box Card Love You So Much was also die cut from teh Shimmer Vellum and adhered to a shadow piece cut from black cardstock.  These were popped up with foam adhesive.  I added a few clear sequins to finish things off.
