Hello friends! Popping in with a little card that I made for a few challenges,
Viva La Verve week #2,
Verve Let It Bloom Diva Inspiration challenge and
ColourQ. Taking my cue from several of the Verve Divas I used the Verve Poppy Birthday set, as well as the Verve set On Occasion. The poppies were die cut using the matching Build a Poppy die set. This card took me a long time to make because I really had to hunt around through my patterned paper to find a pink that was a good match to the pink ink that I had used. With all the patterned papers I have you would think it would have been easier, but it wasn't, lol! Finding the aqua polka dot paper was far easier since I didn't have to match it to anything. After cutting and stamping all the flowers, I roughed up the edges a bit and then stacked them. A little bit of embossing was done on the bottom of the cardstock panel and the edges of all the papers were roughed up a bit, too. I used some kraft cardstock for my base. The two larger poppies look almost exactly alike in the photo, but they really are two different colors! I will be giving this card to my mom for Mother's day.
Thanks for stopping by... hope all the moms here in the US have a very happy Mother's day!
Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections white; Stampin Up! kraft; Patterned paper: Stampin Up! and PaperTrey Ink; Stamps and dies: Verve; Embossing folder: Cuttlebug Swiss Dot

Hello Rosie,
Phew...all my family have just left after a very busy Mothers day, I love having them around but I find it exhausting these days. Anyway I hope you had a good one.
This is a gorgeous card, with it's distressing and and delightful Poppies which add a tactile feel to the design, the palette is also very pretty and I am sure Your Mom will love it. The bitty embossing at the bottom is a great finish.
