The Flower Challenge #35 - August Reminder

For the original The Flower Challenge post 
I made a card with daisies on it - my favorite flower.  
My second favorite is poppies so I used a stamp from Sheena Douglas 
and watercolored with DIs.
I cut the panel, splattered it, added a sentiment from PB and put it on patterned paper from Altenew.  I had to tip my photo because those stripes were causing havoc with my eyes trying to make it straight.

We have Therese Calvird as our guest designer and Clearly Besotted as our sponsor, offering a $20 gift card.  You'll want to check out both of their sites for lots of wonderful inspiration.

SOOOOOOO pretty Bobby! I love Poppies too and they look FABULOUS against your diagonally striped background! Had to chuckle about tipping it sideways to photograph it...too funny!! :0)

Thanks for thinking of our eyes, too, Bobby! I love the stripes, though - so striking with these gorgeous red poppies - those great big red ones are a favorite of mine, too! A beautiful reminder!

This is gorgeous, Bobby. Don't know why, but every time someone uses black and white stripes on a card it just pops. Your coloring is beautiful and I love the splatters, really adds something to the whole look!

Love your bold and classy card, Bobby ! The black striped background was the perfect choice for the red poppies!

love the look of your fab poppies...they come and go too quickly, sadly mine did not bloom this year and that was quite a disappointment.
