I started with the
Memory Box Row of Poppies die. I chose one of the ink backgrounds I created in January in soft aqua and red pink tones. I cut the paper with the die trying to align the colors to at least have a couple of the poppies fall on the red spots. I used the metal adapter plate to ensure a clean cut the first time through. This die is great because it has a bottom edge which holds all of these flowers together. Makes adhering it much easier. I embossed a white layer with the dots from the Sizzix Christmas Words and Dots Set. Once this layer was adhered to my aqua card placed in the tall or portrait orientation, I placed Bling Zots behind each of the poppies and a couple on the base and adhered the die cut to the dots layer. I then color printed the greeting and applied banner ends with the Stampin Up Banner Triple Punch. I rubbed the edges with the Baja Breeze ink pad before sticking it to the card front with 3D foam tape.
I love the soft and elegant feel to the card.
