Brenda at Floral Fantasies is celebrating her Bloggerversary and the fact that she has nigh on 4000 followers with a little competition to make something that reflects her blog. For me it had to be the beautiful header. It's a joy to see those poppies every time I visit Branda's blog. I've used a stamp by Sheena Douglass, coloured with H2O's then I cut out the image with a Spellbinders die. The butterfly is one of Glenda Waterworth's - coloured with Distress Markers and then lightly sprayed with glitter spray. The bp is (I think) from Paintbox Poppets which I over stamped with a crackle and a text stamp in Worn Lipstick DI. Hardly shows but it was a bit plain(er) before. The ribbon and card candy are from my stash. I really wanted to make more of this card but just can't get my head round adding loads of embellishments etc. I'm going to give it to my neighbours who have an anniversary this month. I don't know which one but I'm guessing it's a fair few more than sixty.
Thank you for visiting today.

Your like me Beryl and a bit predictable, but no sin in that especially when it's such a beautiful poppy creation.
I can imagine the glitter in real life from the spray and H2'o's and the ribbon looks really effective how you have used it and the gem in the centre.
Thank you so much for taking the time to create a card and join in my blog celebration.

What a gorgeous card Beryl and your poppies and butterfly are beautifully coloured as always. Your overstamped background may not be 'in your face' but that's perfect :D. Sublety on the background not to detract from the focal points .... just what's needed! I bet your neighbours are going to treasure this.

Such a lovely card, great image and beautifully coloured.
Hi Beryl. I recognise that stamp but I'm ashamed to say it's not one I have, might have to rectify that!! It looks gorgeous with the h20's. Your neighbours will give it pride of place for sure.
Thank you for your lovely comments. I have broken free at last although the hole won't be done until tomorrow according to a very nice man who came to apologise and help me move the barriers so I could carefully drive the car over the hole!!!!

Certainly makes me think of Brenda Beryl, she does love her poppies. This is one very gorgeous card.
Thanks for visiting my blog Beryl. I'm feeling a little better, but still got the terrible cough. I love your card it's beautiful. Lovely colouring and just enough with the ribbon and the candy. I love your spellbinder die. Hugs x ChrisB

The poppies are so beautiful!
This is gorgeous Beryl, I'm ashamed to say I have this stamp and so far have not used it. Thank you for the lovely comments you've left on my blog. A Quintile is a 5x5 tile, I don't know if this was an invention by the ladies on the Chocolate Baroque group, you can visit via a link on the Chocolate Baroque website.
