Hello Friends!
Have you checkout our new challenge blog called TRIPLE B?
It's
all about using any of your stash but your project must have at least a
BIRD, a BUTTERFLY or BLOOMS (flowers) visible on it. Hence the title
Triple B.
Diane is your host for July and here's the inspiration board she has created for you ...
What a clever board ... don't you agree?
Well, as you can see, I went with the colors and of course the beautiful red poppies. I used to have some beautiful red poppies like these until hubby thought he help me out by spraying the weeds in my flower garden ... well, you can figure out the rest of the story! Ugh ... he was trying to help! LOL
I've had this Just for Fun poppy stamp for many years and for some reason, rarely use it ... that will have to change! I stamped it three times ... two on scrap white cardstock as I planned on fussy cutting two of them and the 3rd one in the center of my card panel.
I've used Tombow markers for my coloring and the butterflies come from a the Paper Studio pack of la petites butterflies from Hobby Lobby. My base card is actually Navy Blue even though it looks black in the photos.
Remember, our challenge begins on the 3rd of each month, ends on the last day of the month and Winner's are announced on the 2nd of each month.

For sure you should use that poppy stamp more often as it makes a beautiful card, big bold poppies, what can be any prettier? Pretty butterflies too, an awesome beautifully created card my friend!!

I totally get the whole spraying issue. Rich has done it when he sprays Simple Green (bleach product) on the house, then tries to deny that he had anything to do with killing my astilbe and turning the rhododendron leaves brown. Okay, I'm over it now. It's amazing what you've done with that one little stamp and your bright blue butterflies. Wow!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, I like flowers and this is gorgeous, bold bright and thanks for playing our challenge. Awesome!
