Hi, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge is to find inspiration from the super fun Joy of Socks website. My Mom loves California Poppies and for her birthday card I wanted to include one. Using the Poppy Stamp/Die Duo from Divinity Designs LLC, I stamped, cut out, and watercolored the poppy......a week ago! I have been staring at it all week trying to figure out what type of card to build around it. This gorgeous sock, with the delish colors, was the inspiration I needed! A white panel, cut out with the Matting Rectangles Die, was sponged with Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo, and Tangerine Tango. The Floral Background Die was cut out of white cardstock and adhered to the inked mat, everywhere except for the large flower petals. For a simple sentiment (and because I can't hug her in person right now due to our stay-at-home order), I used 'Hugs' (three layers) from the Inspiration Words Dies set. Blackberry Bliss ribbon and a bow tied with a Bow Easy were the last touches before adhering the panel to the card which was cut out with the A2Portrait Card Base with Layers Dies set. Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

Beautiful sponged ombre background and so striking as the underlaying for this lovely die-cut overlay! Lovely coloring on your sweet poppy...love its look against they white overly. Your petite little bow, ribbon and sentiment word bring this card to a perfect finish! Love it!
