This card is for the alphabet challenge for the letter D for dies. The double challenge is for decade and the polka dot paper with the scalloped trimmed dies allows this to fit into the 60's decade quite nicely. The poppies were colored with spectrum noir alcohol markers. This is one of those cards that was so much fun to make it almost made itself. I wish all card were this easy to make.

Wow, Karen, this card is pure Awesomeness! Your coloring is phenomenal giving your poppies a velvety look! I'm so amazed at what those alcohol markers can do! You chose the perfect framing and the dotted bg is so fun~

Wow! this is gorgeous! The poppies are so beautiful and I love the deep colour. The black and white polka dot paper is so striking. It just makes those poppies 'pop'.
