Amazing Birthday!

Today's card is for the new MFT Challenge Board. They've relocated their challenges to this new blog so be sure to check them out.
Here's my card I made using their sketch.
I used LJD Pretty Poppies since I haven't used it in quite some time. The card base is a very light grey, not white. I used a brown Sharpie to dot in the center and then added some gold stamen with a gold gel pen.
I added a little poppy cluster to the inside as well. I'm pretty good at neglecting the inside of my cards so this year I'm trying to focus on the whole card, not just the front.

Thanks so much for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

Beautiful card. I'm the same way about the insides of my cards and I'm making the effort to take more notice of the "heart of the card". Love the orange poppy and that you used some brown and gold to color it in.
