Addicted to CAS #120

I love florals.  Don't you?  If so you're in luck because that is the word our host Jaydee has chosen for Addicted to CAS.
I have a lot of floral stamps so the difficult part was choosing which one to use.  I decided to go with one of my newest ones.


I colored the poppy from PTI's Stemmed Statements with Inktense pencils and framed it with a new die that I ordered from AliExpress.  A number of blog friends have ordered from them - inexpensive but it takes a while to get the product.  I popped the frame up with fun foam, added the tag and sentiment from the same set and tied on some twine.   I got lots of dimension while still keeping my card CAS.

Our sponsor for this challenge is STAMPlorations.  They will award a $10 store certificate to the winner so get out those floral stamps and get busy making your clean and simple card. ;)

Love the flower that the frame around it. Have had a few people talking about this company wonder how long it would take to Australia?? Now that would be interesting, but back to your card. Its beautiful and framing the flower really highlights it perfectly.

The richness of your colouring on that lovely poppy is just fabulous, Bobby ... it's so striking against the white on white frame! Hugs, Anita :)

Absolutely gorgeous poppy and nestling it inside the frame adds to the impact! I just checked out the site and am certainly intrigued! Is this die set 'durable'? Looking forward to a review of what you ordered and your thoughts, when you have a chance...
