Welcome Poppies Patriotic Card

Created this Patriotic card using Mark's Finest Papers (MFP) Welcome Poppies stamp set.

Used americana Kraft cardstock red/off-white/blue. Since I was running low on the americana Kraft cardstock I bought a 2nd pkg at Hobby Lobby yesterday 50% this wk.

Used Spellbinders: Nestabilities Labels Eight and Shapeabilities Ribbons Banners. Used Fiskars corner rounder.

Heat embossed the Poppies stamp & USA stamp using VersaMark & Black embossing powder. Was a first for me heat embossing a large stamp like this.


Used Vintage twine that I had won which I thought complemented the look of this Kraft cardstock.
