YAY, It is so good to have time after 3 weeks to stamp and check out other galleries That being said, I decided to combine 3 challenges into one:
First, our Queen this week is Diane (aka pinkberry), and her gallery is wonderful, with so much inspiration to choose from. My inspiration came from this one :
Second is today's F4A173 (Pleats and Ruffles). I eliminated the bow on Diane's card and replaced it with black pleated paper - not sure you can see the pleats on upload, but it is pleated
Third is today's MIX20. Dina K gave us a fantastic challenge of using black. I stamped my outline in black, came back with gray for the flower, and then took black ink and an aqua blender and painted black for highlights.
Thanks so much for taking a closer look - hope you like it

Love that Rubbernecker image of free form poppies and you did a sensational card using it on your card for all challenges, Barb. The bg diamond embossing and the tiny check DP all add to your distinctive card.

Soooo PRETTY!!! Barb, your title made me laugh, but your card has me swooning with delight! It is a beautiful case! The way you did your ribbon is wonderful and your water coloring is beautiful!!! Very cool that you have the graphic elements framing your soft and lovely poppies. I like the little bits of splatter you added too! Love it all!!!
