Today's Color Challenge is hosted by Karen B. Barber, an outstanding artist, who selected the color combination of Calypso Coral, Peekaboo Peach, Crushed Curry, and Pear Pizazz (YAY, she included a green!). Karen's dessert option is to create a pocket card or a pocket on a card.
I used the Penny Black Parade of Flowers stamp to stamp poppy flowers onto a piece of white cardstock. I used Copic Sketch Markers of closely related colors to color the Poppies. After coloring them, I fussy cut them.
I decided I would create a pocket on my card instead of creating a pocket card. "Oh, where is the pocket?", you say. Look closely and you'll see it 2/3 down from the top.
I decided to use a Neat & Tangled Scalloped Cover Plate Die (I call it a frame) to create a pocket. I die cut a piece of white cardstock with the die, leaving the bottom 1/3 uncut, and dry embossed the uncut section with the same die. After removing the die cut pieces from the frame, I had a pocket at the bottom in which I could insert my floral stems. I then sponged Antique Linen ink around the border of the frame. To have room to slip my floral stems into the pocket, I added foam adhesive around the frame and attached it to my card base. I inserted the floral stems into the pocket and adhered the flowers to the upper portion of the frame with either foam tape or glue. I finished the card by stamping a sentiment onto the bottom of the frame.
Thank you very much for viewing my card and leaving a comment!

Wow! This is one incredibly stunning card Bev! I adore how you colored and fussy cut these glorious poppies, then tucked them into this wonderful fancy die plate. This is just so creative and also very comforting with this wonderful verse. This is going right into my favs! ~Karen.
