Hello again! I’m back with a second card thanks to our new challenge at As You See It – this time round we’re asking you to ‘fill in the blank’ with what one shape you would use on a card.

Hello friends and welcome to Sunday’s post! I’ve dipped back to one of my favourites images for today’s card, with Linda’s Poppies stamps – they were the obvious choice when I saw the inspiration photo at Just Us Girls and obviously also fit the ‘blooms’ aspect at Triple B.
