pop up poppies...

if you're a UKScrapper...you may have seen this LO...its my interpretation of the challenge set by my teamies this week...using my sketch...see here if you've missed it!

i took the photos in my FIL's beautiful garden...he has an amazing collection of poppies and these whoppers are one of my favourties...
the floral embellishment along the bottom is made from cutting cardstock with a sizzix die and then colouring it with distressing inks...and several layers of distressing stickles...this is also how i've coloured the title letters...

the flower in the middle is a chip shape which i've embellished with black gems and black stickles to give it a more poppy~like centre...and the tiny flowers are punched out of pp and them dotted with black stickles in the centre and raised up on foam squares...

there is an extra photo and some journalling underneath the biggest poppy...which is actually a photo that i've cut up to create an embellishment for the flap...


now...if you haven't joined in with the challenge...what are you waiting for??? ;0)
