Hello stamplings~ I've got a card up today, for the new challenge starting over at Double D Challenges, where the theme is "Flowers of The Month".
The flowers for this challenge are:
July Larkspur, Delphinium or Water Lily
August Poppy or Gladiolus
September Aster or Morning Glory
October Cosmos or Marigold
November Chrysanthemum
December Paper White Narcissus or Holly
August Poppy or Gladiolus
September Aster or Morning Glory
October Cosmos or Marigold
November Chrysanthemum
December Paper White Narcissus or Holly
I chose Poppies!
I didn't have poppy dies to make a poppy. Any flower die will do! I used Sizzix Thinlits Floral Frame to make the flowers and to frame the sentiment in gold mirror cardstock. The sentiment is from Penny Black "Grateful Heart".
I think the colors are very striking and bold but I love how it turned out.
Here's your inspiration photo:
Hope to see you there!
Thanks for stopping by!

Bold Poppies, bold birthday card--love this design! The black and white stripes look fab as does the gold accents! Someone will be very happy to find this in their mailbox!
Beautiful birgit, I love the hint of the gold frame, so pretty! My poppies have big heads on them right now and will be blooming soon!
Striking and bold are two good things, Birgit! and I love that you've created your very own Poppy - it's perfect, and look just like those in your blog header!
So pretty!
