Today's Inspiration Challenge is the website of A Cool Breeze - I chose this fan: Poppy Fan
The background color reminded me of kraft which I used for the card base and then masked the poppies to sponge a similar shade of distress ink. I also sponged one side of the embossing folder with the same ink before embossing and stitching.

Did it feel as odd to you using a white pen in the centre of the poppies as it did to me? That big gingham bow and the embossing folder look made for each other.
