Poppies!

This card took a whole hour! Honestly! I spent 45 minutes of that scratching my head. Clean and simple is the challenge at Stampotique this week. This is as clean and simple as I can be. It was inspired by the Poppies in my garden this morning...... well, sort of!



This is my 23 week old Poppy pup with some wonderful magenta Poppies. They got there totally by accident last year when I was harvesting poppy seeds and dropped a box full of seed heads, but hey, these are lovely so it was definitely a happy accident.


Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog, enjoy your day, Sam xxx

    Awesome card; crisp and clean and to the point! I found this challenge hard. I'm not a clean and simple kinda gal! Cute puppies!

    That's a beautiful card Sam, but I think it's slightly outshone by your gorgeous puppy!!!

    This is really stunning. Love the simple elegance - never easy to achieve despite the way it looks.
