All occasion cards featuring glittered poppies, paper piercing with ribbon flags over a striped background

For this card I started with a large warm yellow card.  I trimmed strips from a piece of decorative paper until I had enough to cover the front. I glued them on with even spacing.  The poppies (PVDorg) were coloured in the same way as I have done several others - laser printed and then a overall wash of clear water.  I then added colour in and let it move around a bit then added colour to the poppies and those ran a bit too.  Love the look!!  Left to dry naturally and then pressed.  I added clear glitter to the dots, paper pierced each side and mounted it to a dark pink cardstock.  I added pink and gold ribbon flags before mounting this large element to my card front using 3D foam tape.  This one is off to my daughter in law for Mother's Day!!
