Thought I would share with you my Painted Poppies Thank You Card. I love the Peaceful Poppies Suite, especially the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper! This DSP is stunning with its handpainted blooms and watercolor washes that make beautiful backgrounds or focal points for cards, scrapbook pages, and other paper crafts. I particularly love the piece that has the poppies at the top and bottom of the page. This layout allows you to get the most out of it. I knew that I wanted this piece to be my focal point for my card. The bee from the Detailed Bee Dies gives the card a whimsical feel as if he is landing on a poppy. The Peaceful Poppies Sequins give that card a bit of sparkle while mirroring the splatter on the DSP. I hope you like my Painted Poppies Thank You Card!
