So many choices that will fit so many people…what would YOU chose if you had to do something based on your first letter? Please share in the comments. Send your creations to the link below to win!
My project is called POPPIES AND PATTERNS.
I was inspired by some simpler cards I had been seeing on Facebook from many people, including fellow educator, Tenia Nelson.
I chose the Painted Poppy Stamp and Die bundle, stamping the flowers in black and pairing it with just a splash of color.
For this first card I used the Might Waves 3D embossing folder cutting just a strip of it matted with a black background, a bit of embroidery floss and a splash of Burnt Red Crisp Dye Ink.
For the second card I used the Window Slats 3D embossing folder but only edging it with some of the Burnt Red ink and adding orange embroidery floss. I also added splatter from the same ink.
The third card uses the Illusion Triangles 3D embossing folder and adding some Sew Easy fancy floss that I had in my stash. Because the matting of the pattern was shiny metallic paper, I used some Glossy Accents over the Burnt Red ink.
The next stop on this hop is Anna Patricia Mahtani

Penny, your red poppies really do pop off the page – perfect!
How proper, Penny! Love your Poppy and Pattern theme! The design is simply so pretty in every way!
Beautiful projects!! If I were to play the name game, I would go for “C”oloring for sure.

Simple and beautiful!
Beautiful cards! Love the poppies!
Such beautiful cards.
Beautiful Poppies and Patterns Penny…. Love both these cards.
Sympathy cards are never fun but yours is very pretty. You thought outside the box for the theme of the challenge. I was only considering the names of techniques but you are right- subject matter could work too. I could totally do something rainbow.
Fabulous modern look! I am so inspired by your cards- can’t wait to try your ideas. I am a D- I would start with dots, and move on from there!
Gorgeous cards, Penny! Very beautiful and elegant! The only themes I can think of that start with ‘N’ nesting dies and negative space.
Your cards are simply gorgeous- I love the added twine! I’m really drawn to the square card!
Love these card designs!
Lovely cards with these pretty poppies!
Very pretty cards, Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow—your cards are soooo pretty. I love the embossed accent with the simple flower.
Such a wonderful style. I love it.
The poppies are cute and like how you incorporated the string/yarn. Inspirational. Thanks for sharing .
What a striking card. Thanks so much for the inspirations.
