Tranquility Trilogy is a very unique concept that Nichole has come up with and we, the Papertrey Ink design team, get to show it off today! Make sure to check out my other post showcasing day 5 of Peaceful Garden too!
Um, yea... there is a poppy image. At least that's what my brain sees, so it was sort of a given that I would use that image!
For some reason I get a victorian feel from these images... a sort of baroque feel. Kind of cool huh.
Here is a card I created with the poppy image.
I wanted that elegant feeling to come through... so I added a little Zva Crystal Flourish that was hiding in my drawer. I also used the new vine border with a white and chartreuse layer layered for a more dramatic feeling. Such a great way to use that border, I can't wait to do that again!
I used Score-Tape to adhere the border then sprinkled it with glitter.
Here is a close up of the little tin. The same triangle is on the top and the vines decorate the sides.... adhered the same way as the card.
I think there are a lot of possibilities with this set. I really love this little poppy image and can see me using several time again!

Thanks for poppying by friends!
Stunning card! I am enchanted with your use of the Tranquility Trilogy stamp. I agree with your impression of Baroque. Elegant!

So pretty!! And, yes, I know what you mean, it does feel a bit Baroque! But also Jugendstil, with the flower patterns! You know the artist Mucha? He also really knew how to use flowers, swirls, vines and leaves in his gorgeous art!! Maybe you'll like it! I do love your card here today and such a cute box!!
Wishing you a lovely day!
Hugs, Wendy

Nice project. I like the double die border on your card, as well as, the stamped triangle design. It does look Baroque! :)

Gorgeous! Yes, I get a "baroque" feel when I look at all these new stamp sets...a "br-oke my pocketbook"!! LOL!

Ohmygosh...I can't believe that with each release your selections (and what all of you do with them) get better and better. If only I had an unlimited bank balance. ;)
