Good morning, time for a new challenge at Allsorts where Lynne has selected the theme of Embossing, it can be wet or dry embossing. Our prize is from Lisa Horton and is the same (as) the set I have used for one of my cards.
In fact Poppy Corner is one of the very first LH sets I bought, well it's Poppies! An arched card and aperture, a trellis using a really old Tattered Lace die placed over a piece of MCS DP. I used Vellum for the Poppies coloured with Oxides through the stencils on LH Ulti-Mate, cut out with the coordinating die, embossed and a simple Birthday sentiment. Beautiful Blossoms have Poppies as their inspiration, Ellies new Garden Party 18 just started, Cut it Up who would like a sentiment added, All About Frames and Garden for Inkspirational.
My second card uses a newer LH set called Red Red Robin, coloured as above, cut with the matching die then embossed and placed over LH Padded Quilt embossing folder. The sentiment is a pretty old wood mounted Penny Black which I believe is discontinued. Linking to the Christmas theme at Krafty Chicks and the A/G option at Can You Handle the Pressure and Christmas Card Throwdown Christmas without Snow.

Love the arched poppy card and the sweet robin makes a fab focal point on your festive card. Great theme . . . rushes off to find embossing folders as I can’t face a heat gun in this heat!!!! xxx
Your poppy card is gorgeous, the poppies look delicate settled onto the background and frame. The Robin is wonderful sitting on the beautiful Christmas foliage, another gorgeous card. x
Two of my fav things, poppies and robins. Love how you used the poppies with the arch card and trellis. The robin is so sweet and love that touch of purple you introduced to the berries.
Your arched poppy card looks so graceful with the vellum layers and trellis, and the robin card brings a sweet seasonal touch with its rich colors and embossed background.
Using vellum gives a lovely soft and delicate look to your poppy card. The brighter colours of the Christmas card are cheerful and festive, they really pop against the white, embossed panel.

Beautiful cards Brenda, like the poppies in vellum and that lattice background compliments them well, your red robin is beautifully colored and like that background!
Both cards are FAB! Love the embossing folders you chose! The poppies are popping and that sweet bird is delightful!
Two gorgeous cards Brenda and I can see why you loved that poppy corner die/embossing combo! And it's such a beautifully done card with the Tattered Lace die behind it. Also really loving the second card, the white embossed background looks fantastic and so elegant, and this might be my favorite one of the two but hard to choose as both are beautiful! So glad you linked up the first one at my Garden Party, it's alway so nice to see you there!
These are just wonderful!
You make putting a card together look effortless!
You can't really go wrong with poppies or poinsettias for Christmas. Two really lovely cards. I hope your healing and recovery is going well xx
Those vellum poppies are so delicate and gorgeous and I love the trellis behind the frame. Thanks so much for joining us at All About Papercraft for our frames challenge.
Beautiful cards, love the arched stencilled one with vellum poppies, and who doesn’t love a Robin 😍xxx
these are gorgeous cards Brenda......gr karin
Your vellum poppies look so delicate and beautiful against the arched trellis, and of course love your robin card.
The embossing is very effective on these two cards
Both beautiful cards, love the embossing, shaped card, beautiful poppies and the little cute Robin. My Sons dog is a greyhound/collie and is traumatised by this little tiny pup that keeps following her everywhere lol.

Two gorgeous cards Brenda. Your poppies look perfect against the trellis background.
Unlike this birthday card. It has a great shape and the "lace" background makes it seem so light and delicate. And I also like the texture on the holiday card too. You used the white well here also. Happy new week. hugs-Erika

Both gorgeous cards, Brenda! I love the arch card with trellis and vellum poppies, a great combination. Lovely stencilled robin in your second card. x
Two lovely designs using florals, Brenda - the arch design with the trellis is so pretty on the first, and I love the robin on the poinsettia and the gems on the embossed background of the 2nd card. Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational: Garden! Julia xx

Gorgeous embossed cards Brenda. I can't see a poppy without thinking of you. Overnight rain has had the four legged fiends galloping about, no injuries despite the slippy conditions!! x
