A Little Reminder.....


Hello dear friends, today is our Reminder post over at THE FLOWER CHALLENGEand this is the card I created to inspire you to come along and play with us in our gallery.


The theme this month is for us to use our newest stamps or dies so I made this card using a spanking new Power Poppy set I bought last December called Pure Prairie Spirit, it has this amazing bouquet of wildflowers plus beautiful sentiments and a pair of butterflies.
I stamped it on a piece of light blue card stock with Stazon black ink and colored it entirely with Prismacolor pencils, I added a few highlights to some of the flowers with a white gel pen. The sentiment is from the set, inked up with markers.

************************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.


Stamped the SU Delicate Borders on top, the sentiment is from the set.

I hope you come by THE FLOWER CHALLENGE blog to get more inspiration from my awesome teammates, then join the fun in our gallery.
