Now if you know me you know that I adore flowers and these new stamps are irresistible! So… I had to make 2 cards to share with you today celebrating the Ellen Hutson & Power Poppy Hop and if you are joining the fun you should have arrived here from LESLIE’s Amazing Blog!
I started by creating my own background by repeatedly stamping a flower from the Strong and Beautiful Stamp Set. I used my Copics to add ‘pink’, yes I know…. not my ‘go to’.
The sentiment is from the same set which I coloured to match and added a couple of sparkling clear sequins to finish.
My second card uses a floral frame stamp from the Floribunda Stamp Set. I kept it as line art and cut out a rectangle frame and then I decided to inset the remaining portion.
I added a Prismacolor Pencil coloured Hummingbird and a heat embossed sentiment from the Summer Berries Stamp Set.

Lovely cards. The frame looks great in black and white.
Beautiful cards! I love the hummer!
Your cards are really beautiful Therese. Love them both equally. Hope you’re having a good day. Given that you’re always so giggly, I’m sure you are!
Wonderful cards! I love the frame and the colorful hummingbird in the second one so much! Beautiful focal point! <3
The frame card is beautiful and your coloring skills are amazing. I look forward to your posts every day!
Beautiful cards. I love that hummingbird, and the background you created for the first card is gorgeous — the pink flowers are wonderful.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL, Therese! You’ve gotten more creative as you’ve created your blog and shared your stamping prowess with us all. Thank you so much for that, as you are an inspiration in the different techniques you share!

Two beautiful cards. Lovely coloring on the first card, and I love the sentiment style on stamps from the Strong & Beautiful set. The layered frame you created on the 2nd card is awesome!
Beautiful cards! I love the pop of color in the hummingbird card!`
The wonderful background with the floating flowers is so whimsical and I am in love. I did but this stamp set this morning and can’t wait to try this. The flower border is amazing and shows how you can use it to make any image “pop” as you did with the hummingbird.
Lovely cards. Thanks

Awesome cards!

Theres, you’ve shared to ever so lovely cards. The color coordination of the stamped image and sentiment on the first card creates such a sense of peace. The beautifully colored hummingbird against the basic black/white of the second card focuses so well on this sweet little bird. tfs
Two gorgeous cards! The prismacolor pencil coloring of the hummer is maagnificent!
Very pretty cards!
I love the hummer on monochromatic background.
Absolutely gorgeous. Two stunning cards.
Love the pink magnolias (?) and the humming bird stands out against the black/white background.
I’ve been following Power poppy for a while now (love their floral images) not sure why I don’t have any especially when so many are also available digitally!
Wow what amazing expressive coloring. I love the hummingbird stamp
A gorgeous pair of cards Therese, love them both. The first one with those falling blooms is so beautiful in pink and I love how you spotlighted the little Hummingbird, it really pops off the page.
XO

Wonderful cards. Love them both! Fabulous soft colours and beautiful images.
Love the look of the hummingbird against the black and white floral background. Very striking.
Love the cards, especially your decision to inlay the cutout; it really makes the beautiful hummingbird pop off the page. Thanks for inspiring.
I have recently “discovered” Power Poppy…I’m truly in love with all beautiful talent that is shared. I wish I could illustrate as Marcella but the next best thing – I can color!
I love your blog and You Tube videos – I’m truly a “stalker” of your work. Love you sense of humor when you do your videos, you are so inspirational – I thank YOU!
Awesome cards Therese, I also love flower stamps a lot and Power Poppy makes such great ones.

The first one is sweet and simple, and i absolutely love your second card. Such a great way to frame and highlight the hummingbird.
So beautiful. I love the hummingbird.
Lovely stamps, lovely cards and all so well done. Having just the hummingbird colored with the black and white background — just right,
These are pretty!
Those delicate blooms lend themselves to the soft pink, Therese, they’re lovely … and what a gorgeous hummer, so beautifully framed in the simple black and white! Hugs, Anita 🙂
