#DOswts Inspiration Hop featuring Peaceful Poppies

Hey Crafty Friends!! It is time for another Inspiration Hop with the STARS.  This week it is all about the Peaceful Poppies, one of the most beautiful suites in the Spring Mini Catalog.


My card today is inspired by my friend and teammate Pam Watkins.  She kindly demonstrated this card design at our monthly team meeting.

    • Rich Razzleberry card base 8 3/4" x 4 1/4, score and fold at 3 1/4"
