I LOVE the new Pleasant Poppies background stamp! I heat embossed the image with Stampin’ Up! Tempting Turquoise Stampin’ Emboss Powder. The contrast between the Tempting Turquoise and Early Espresso is stunning. The “congratulations” sentiment is from Sweet Essentials, a versatile, new set with a tr?s chic font!
A single, coordinating Glimmer Brad is all the embellishing needed.

Beautiful card! Love the color combo — simply striking!
Wow, this colour combination looks stunning. I love this stamp. The flowers look great embossed.
Embossing the turquoise on the brown was ingenious! Love it!
Exquisite Mary! Your artwork is always amazing and so inspiring!
This is beautiful Mary. I love pink and brown together and have the Melon Mambo embossing powder. I will have to try this one soon.
You’re right about the contrast in colors. The turquoise pops right off the espresso. It’s beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Mary, all of your artwork is fantastic and this one is darling as well!! I love the embossed look against the contrast. Very stunning!!
Mary ~ I see why you love this stamp … you did it great justice … your color combo … perfection! Love it!
This is gorgeous, definately on my wish list. One of my favorite color combos
WOW. Simply.Perfect.
Love it Mary, and so simple too!
So easy to do. The results are WOW!
Love it! The embossing is great and the colors are so pretty. Maybe sometime soon we will see your other card that you made for the hop!
Very pretty! Love the colors. My kind of card.
Beautiful color combo! Love your card! (as usual 🙂
Oh my, Mary! That Tempting Turquoise on that Early Espresso is just striking! What a fabulous card! 🙂
Got say that this card is amazing! I love the idea for melon mambo too.
Stunning, Mary! Love those poppies!
I really like pink with dark brown, too . . . melon mambo embossing powder could be next on my list! hugs, m
Gorgeous! But then, what’s not that you create? Love the color combo!
Stunning!! I can’t wait to try the turquoise and early expresso combo!
Beautiful card. The contrast between the turqouise and early espresso is outstanding.
I love Tempting Turquoise. This card is exquisite! It looks like someone did fine embroidery. This card would be stunning in other contrasting colors, as well. Another home run for you!
Absolutely beautiful! I love this color combination and the ease of the card is always a plus! Thank you for sharing.
One word… Electrifying! Wonderful colors Mary!
TFS
Strong and dynamic!
Stunning is right! More ideas from Mary!
Gorgeous! Love this set and the turquoise ep!
Stunning really is the best word for this beauty!
So Striking!!!
WOW! I love this! My poppies came yesterday and I was so excited to see what you would do and no disappointment here 🙂 This is beautiful and outside the orange poppy box that I was in. I did not know that SU’s colored embossing powders would pop like that on dark colors….oooh, baby! Creative juices are flowing now 🙂 Thanks, Mary!
“Stunning” is the first word that came to my mind when I first saw your card, May! You did it again!
I knew it would be worth the wait! I vote on “stunning”!
Love this card!!! So glad I ordered this stamp set. Can’t wait for it to get here.
Stunning!
Mary,
Fabulous!
Hi Mary – This card is beautiful! I love the color combo – one of my favoites. I love pink and brown too -humm – I’m thinking mambo mellon embossing powder might be fun too. I’ve been a big fan of yours for a while but I’ve never left a comment before. Thanks for all the inspiration!
This is v v pretty Mary. I love Espresso, but have never really been a big fan of Tempt Turq. It does really pop on the darker CS tho. The outline image is so pretty.
