 PPWCMD01: WOOT WOOT FOR TUTS!
If you're a fan of the Power Poppy Spot a.k.a. our blog, you know Mondays are all about sharing a dose of creativity! You've seen members of our Bloom Brigade host Inspire Me Monday Tutorials to share a splash of artistic flair with all of you! So, this challenge involves scrolling back through any of the Inspire Me Monday tutorials and giving them a whirl! Click HERE  to see some of those fabulous step-by-step tutorials and give a "Woot Woot" for Tuts!


I chose Christine's fabulous Layered Paper Strips tutorial HERE.   I didn't use as many layers as Christine did.  I LOVE how this card turned out.  It is so neat in person.  I used Power Poppies newest release set called Poinsettia available HERE. As Christine suggested I stamped out 3 images but only colored one in its entirety.  Then I cut my strips and used 2 of them.  I popped them up.   

I even decorated the inside of my card this time...

  2. Love how you added the dimension on the poinsettias. Gorgeous colouring as always. Sorry for the lack of commenting - life is going at warp speed and working PT now so time is very limited. I love seeing you on my Feedly reader and just wish I had time to comment daily. Trusting all is well with you ((hugs))!
