Thinking Of Warmer Days......
........and Poppies in the Spring, seems so far away today but I'm sure as always time will pass by quickly and I can look forward to the new shoots in my garden and the wonderful Poppies I look forward to every year with renewed excitement.
Hence I decided to use my NEWLY purchased Poppy Collage from Memory Box (available from The Stamp Attic). Thought I would also play along with a few challenges too at the same time, using the colours from The Play Date Cafe challenge once again, using the inspiration photo below.
Along with the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and Show which this week we are challenged to SHOW OUR NEWEST STAMP and the Poppy Collage just happens to be mine. My card also fits the challenge for The Sunday Stamper too with Hels where the challenge this week is to use CHARMS/MEN and I have chosen to use a charm on my card this week.
The paper in the background is from Tim's Vintage Shabby Paper Stash and I have embossed a piece of taupe card with a swirl embossing folder and added the strip across the centre of the card, along with a piece of vintage ribbon and an IMAGINE Philosphy tag charm.
The Poppy Collage has been stamped twice onto white card using DI Fired Brick and I have cut a second flower from the second stamping and added to the main image to give a 3D like appearance. Three hot pink buttons and IMAGINE sentiment from Outlines complete my card. Tracy x x
