A card made for the C631 challenge. Inspired by the poppies shown in the challenge post
When I saw this challenge I had this stamp on my desk because I haven't used it before and I have been wanting to make a card with it. It is difficult to see in the photo that the white piece is made of strips of paper woven into a mat. I received a card in a swap several years ago that had the image stamped on a woven piece and it was so pretty. I have been thinking of trying it ever since. It really looks better when you see first hand. (My photos arent the best)

I like this technique, it makes it look like mosaic. This is very pretty and beautifully colored.

What an interesting idea! I love the basket work look of your stamped panel. Your colouring is lovely too and must have been a bit tricky giving the woven background!

As soon as I saw those poppies in the inspirations pics I knew they would be a popular one to use. Your card is great with the woven panel and I like how you framed it.
