Miss Monday-Purple Painted Poppies

 

Sometimes when new stamp sets come out with a new catalog we forget to get stamp with some of our old favorites that carried over. Here I made two cards using the Painted Poppies stamp set and kept one simple (no layers) and the other I stepped it up just a little by changing the color of the cardbase and stamping a background as well. 

Which do you prefer? Purple cardbase or simple white? You can make both by using the supplies below from my online store and following the steps.
