Poppies

With rememberence day coming up, the challenge set by Rainbow Lady this week is to make your own poppy. I can't see me wearing this one though - it's not very robust and wouldn't be doing the Haig fund any favours. I made a card to go with it though - using the same Elusive Images stamps, coloured with a mixture of H2O's and Cosmic Shimmer paints. The bow and trim on the side of the plate is a piece of netting - originally bought as one of those circles you make into a skirt with the bodice template (I really must get round to using that.) The light backing paper is another piece of my precious Graphicus Guild paper and the green bp is rom my stash.
Thanks very much for visiting and thank you also for the lovely comments you've all been leaving.

Another stunning card Beryl, I love those beautiful poppies and your colouring on this is just superb!
May I ask which number nestie labels you've used, as these are the ones I think I want (trying to decide which ones to get has been a nightmare!)

Your poppy might be fragile Beryl but it's beautiful! So is the card. They are beautifully coloured and that's a really pretty corner punch you've used too.
