One of my favourite new stamps from the new Annual Catalogue is the Pleasant Poppies background stamp. The image is beautiful and so versatile and so...BIG! When I had to design more over-sized cards for staff farewells I turned to that gorgeous image...and here's the result:

| Same card, different colours |
I have to say that once I came up with this design it was quick and easy to put together the four cards I needed. Though the image on each card is heat embossed in black, I did each one in a different colour scheme so no one would feel like they were getting the exact same as someone else. I don't really know any of the four ladies these cards are for, so it was difficult to come up with a unique design for each one. On a staff of over 60 it is hard to get to know everyone, especially since most of them have only been at our school for less than a year. I happily delivered the finished cards last Monday, thrilled to be finished with over-sized cards for a while!
