Hello ladies, here is my card for the California Poppies. I got this "Thermo" image of Cali from a free site on-line (I think National Geographic) and printed it to card stock.
Colored and cut out my Penny Black Poppies and then printed California on my computer and die cut it with a Spellbinders die.
I have to say that a field of Poppies intermingled with purple Lupine (something like a TX blue Bonnet), is the most beautiful site! It is typical where I live in the Sierra during the spring.

This is an amazingly beautiful card. The thermal image is really thinking out of the box. I'm going to have to remember that site.
