The Flower Challenge - December

How did December get here so quickly?  A new month and a new challenge for you at The Flower Challenge.
We'd like you to get out one of your long neglected flower stamps or dies and make a card for our gallery.  My card is made with one of my oldest stamps from Penny Black.
I masked the poppy so I could stamp it twice and then colored it with Zigs.  The background was done with Distress Ink and yes, I know there's some bleeding but that was intentional. The sentiment is also from PB.

Please remember that this is a flower challenge so flowers must be the main feature of your card - stamped or die cut.  You may only enter six other challenges besides ours.  It hurts us when we have to disqualify a card because the designer didn't follow the rules.

If you need inspiration, there is plenty of it on The Flower Challenge blog and we will be back with more inspiration on the 15th.

I watched a wonderful Sandy Allnock video yesterday. She water colored a Cardinal, and all the while she painted, she spritzed water to give this very same ethereal look... you've nailed it, Bobby! a simply gorgeous card!
