For our Card Cafe Thursday, we have a "new kid on the block" to share with you today. You might not have heard of Power Poppy Stamps but artist Marcella Hawley has been sharing her style for close to a decade! Recently she launched her own company and today the Power Poppy "Bloom Brigade" (a.k.a. design team) is here to show some of the fun flair Power Poppy delivers!
Allison Cope shows us what a splash of watercolor can do when you pair it with a light color ink and this beautiful bouquet called Countryside Bouquet Deluxe!
Julie Koerber added a splash of fall with her bright and sunny sunflowers from the stamp set Sunny Harvest. I love the easy breezy feel of faded blue jeans with this one!
And... after seeing this All Star creation from Tosha Leyendekker, who wants to hit the ball field for some peanuts and Cracker Jack? She used the stamp set Play Ball for this fun-loving card that's perfect for the guys in our lives!
If you love what you see, you'll want to join us tomorrow too! In the meantime, be sure to check out the Power Poppy Blog HERE for even more inspiration and tutorials!

I love the geraniums==both sets. Plus the greeting set is marvelous--pretty and useful. AND I'm delighted to see the baseball set now that I have a grandson who is playing sports!
As always, all her work is wonderful and I love to see all the designers do marvelous things!
