picked up some inspiration again from The Sweet Stop, with their sketch #123... over the weekend i was asked to create a very special card with a theme... i was really excited to even have been asked but screeching inside cause i had no idea what to do... i had the papers that i needed to use, just no direction of how to put the card together... so thankfully, The Sweet Stop put out an awesome sketch to use for the challenge this week... and well, here's my interpretation...
the theme for the card was poppy.... i had a stash of this Poppies in Bloom DP by Autumn Leaves (all of the DP used on this creation) that was so fitting... then it was choosing the right image.... being that i made this for a guy to give to someone, Hello Ian, from TGF, whom has not seen ink from me yet, called out... ahhh, moment filled with such perfection.... originally Ian is holding a sunflower (or so that's what i think it is) but to keep with the poppy theme, i cut out a poppy from the DP to fit over the original flower.... voila! make it work! had a stash of coordinating die cut poppy flowers too which i added one to the bow... can't really see the border punch in the background but it's MS Iron Gate border punch that i found at Ross' for $5!!! what a steal! sentiment is from Hero Arts....
i hope he likes this card and i hope his "Poppy" likes it too!! If you haven't heard about the Sweet Stop yet, go and check them out... you'll find their sketches fun and eye candy very inspiring... who knows, you might just want to play along too!
thanks for sharing a moment with me... i sure hope i've inspired you in some way to get crafty!!
Cute card, love the Poppy theme! Thanks for playing along with us at The Sweet Stop!
