Isn't it pretty?!!!! Now I know I poppies are red but I decided to make them blue. It's a nice and easy card to make that requires few supplies. So let me share with you what I used to make this one.
I started with a base card of Gumball Green cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". I added a layer of 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" Midnight Muse and attached it to the base using runner adhesive. For the final top layer, I took a piece of Whisper White and cut it at 4" x 5 1/4". Using the Pleasant Poppies stamp, I stamped the image onto the white using Midnight Muse ink. I then pulled out my favorite colored pencils and colored in the stems and flowers. Once they were colored, I attached the white piece to the base card with the runner adhesive.
I wanted to add a little something more to my card and chose to add butterflies. I used the Beautiful Wings embosslit and my big shot. I cut butterflies out using all of the 2012-2014 in colors: Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, and Summer Starfruit. I used only the ones with the polka dots on them. They are attached to the card using glue dots. I then add rhinestones to form their bodies and added one to each wing also. To the flowers whose centers showed, I added a yellow rhinestone.
I did not put a greeting on this one yet. I will when I decide who is receiving it and for what occasion. I do hope the ease of making this card came through to you. I know there are lots of samples that are intricate and take lots of time. Trust me I do some of those too. They are beautiful but the more simple ones are beautiful too.
I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday. I plan on spending some much needed time with my husband. He has been working a lot lately and I have been missing him. I will be back with a new share for you though so be sure to stop by to see me tomorrow. Thanks for visiting today!!!!
