Paper Hugs

I've just noticed the challenge at Power Poppy Stamps for August calls for inspiration from home - so this is what I came up with! I took inspiration from this subtle photo print, which hangs in the corner of our dining area.  It was given to me one Christmas by my son and daughter-in-law - I love its clean style and so I knew straight away what Power Poppy stamp I could use - the digi stamp Kindness. I am fairly new to customising digi stamps but I was thrilled that I was able to move one bloom closer to the other without cutting off a corner!  I didn't manage to put one in front of the other, but I think I could next time - baby steps!  I did however bring the sentiment up over one flower!  Anyway, I'm very happy with how this first attempt turned out and will experiment further to see what magic I can do.  I have been a fan of Power Poppy for some time, and always enjoy colouring Marcella's images - they are beautiful.

I have a card today over at Scrapbook Boutique  blog, using the lovely Storybook stamp set by Avery Elle. I'd love you to pop over to check out my card, but I also have another one here, using the same set. This card is very clean and simple, using just a stamped border (Mama Elephant) and stars from the set for embellishment.  My other card has a bit more to it, but I like them both - what do you think?
