It was my daughter's birthday in early April, and she and her husband went off into the wilds to do a little quad riding in the sand dunes of eastern Washington. As we would not be seeing them with their mini vacation and social distancing going on, I had a bit of time beyond her birthday to complete her card. This was great for me, because I just had no creative mojo...social distancing seemed to take every creative bone in my body to some distance beyond my reach. But, I had the new Stampin' Up Painted Poppies paper and dies, and I thought I'd see what I could come up with.
I attended a class card several months ago, and we made a card using some these materials, including a fishtail banner. I liked that look so well, I thought I'd do a wee bit of casing of our hostess, Luci Kirschenbaum's design. But, I decided my new card would be a larger horizontal card rather than vertical and with a lot more color layering. Take a look at my finished card for daughter, Jackie:
