Summer Flowers

Summer gardens are in full bloom now. I just love seeing the different gardens people have as I go about my day. Some are a wild mess (like mine!), some are neat and tidy, but the ones I love best are a combination of neatness with a dash of wildness! And color, oh my, the colors are fabulous!

The Stampendous Design Team is sharing Floral and Foliage themed cards this week. Here's one I did a while back for the April catalog.  I love poppies, and the Poppy Fields Stamp makes it so quick and easy to create a beautiful card.
