This is for Anne's cousin Marion recuperating from surgery.
Anita's challenge was to say it with flowers & use a fave technique: Crinkled Chalk. For the letter challenge, I had layers, embossing, stamping, and used twine for the R for ribbon.
I stamped the background stamp with poppy parade on shimmery white and then stamped the outline in archival ink, and diecut them out and trimmed them a bit. I used the other splotchy background image to add some gold frantage and then did the crinkled chalk on the panel of shimmery white. One flower is glued down with tombow and the other adhered with dimensionals. Adhered the twine bow with glue dots.

Oh, those poppies are amazing, they look so velvety and silky, just like real ones do. Your frantage looks quite amazing too, and the irregular border is great - especially the contrast between the poppy red and the black base.

Oh Shirl, those poppies pop right off the page. Fabulous. Love all the details you added -- popping up a flower, twine, tags, gold, matting -- it's all lovely. Wonderful card for Marion.
