Time for a new challenge at
The Sisterhood of Crafters and it is being hosted by
our lovely 'sistah' Marsha!
In honor of Veterans she has chosen 'POPPIES' for our theme.
I think it is a fabulous challenge theme!

I have a few poppy stamps and/or dies to choose from.
But in the end I went with this smaller, delicate version of the poppy.
It was colored in with Copics after stamping on a white die cut doily.
The background paper is from an old paper pad from 2009...
yikes, that is 9 years old, about time I used some of it don't you think??
The sentiment is from the same stamp set, supplies listed below.
Here a few of my own garden poppies from a previous year
The normal 'orange' poppy.
These poppies were from seeds from my friend Lana in Canada...DOUBLES...almost look like carnations and have a bright lime green center.

A special ordered red poppy I ordered about 20 years ago.
A true treasure, a PINK poppy!
A garden full of poppies, see the bench, I think I have to toss it this year...sigh!

Love your card and thank you for sharing the beautiful poppy pictures. I especially like the one with the bench. Have a great day.
Gorgeous poppy card against beautiful poppy background paper Diane. Your garden is so beautiful, it must be a real pleasure to walk among those gorgeous flowers. I love the look of the bench too, so rustic, it would be a pity to chuck it! Hugs, Gwendolyn

Absolutely beautiful Diane, such a lovely design and fabulous colours, Kate x x
Your card is spectacular....your garden of poppies is magnificent! I try and try to grow them from seed to no avail. Probably going to have to suck it up and buy as a perennial plant! lol They are beautiful!
It is a beautiful and thoughtful theme, and you just can't go wrong with poppies on a card. Your sweet little poppies on the doily are so pretty! I gasp at your garden of poppies! I see a kitty in the second photo, too. Love the last with the gorgeous doubles mingling with the lilies and other plants against the cute fence. I miss my poppies. Too much shade now. I had no idea they lived so long!
Your garden is so beautiful and those poppies are fabulous!! I love the card... the poppies are so realistic... Have a great weekend!
Beautiful card, Diane! Trust you to have poppy designer paper in your stash, too! LOL I will have to visit your poppy garden. I can't grow a thing but sure do appreciate the effort from those who can!
