H2H "Poppy Color Challenge"

I haven't participated in an online challenge for awhile, so I decided today's the day.  This challenge is from the Heart 2 Heart challenge page.  Here was the inspiration photo:

 

And here's what I made:

 

Obviously, I added a lot of black accents to the suggested colors.  I started with black cs for the card base, then added a CTMH Lagoon cs base mat, then a white cs mat, then a CTMH Sunset cs mat. I ran the final and top piece of white cs through my Cuttlebug for the embossed dots. I added white doodled dots around the black border to make the card more whimsical.  The poppies and sentiments are from CTMH's stamp set "Wavy Blooms." I colored the poppies with Copic markers (YR04, YR68, & R05). The flower centers are CTMH large black sparkles.

The Sunset cs, bottom left poppy, and "happy" are all attached with dimensional adhesives.

I have a friend who loves orange who has a birthday coming up, and this just might be her card!

Wavy Blooms Birthday Card

I like the way this card turned out. It's another made from scrap paper I had on hand. The flower is from CTMH's "Wavy Blooms" stamp set, and the sentiment is from CTMH's "Joyful Birthday" set. The white paper was stamped with a wooden background stamp with yellow polka-dots in CTMH's Canary ink. I colored the flower and leaf with Copics, used clear and orange Stickles on the flower, and attached the piece with dimensional adhesive.

The inside of the card says ""Do What Makes You Happy" also from the "Wavy Blooms" stamp set.
