I made this card using the newly released Poppy Patch set by Flourishes -- so fun -- LOTS of different poppy stems included!!! The scripted background is from another new release called Thank You. www.flourishes.org.
Three sets were released yesterday. All sets and complete details on this card can be seen on my Blog:

SO beautiful! Love these poppies! The colors are so vivid, and the contrasting black makes everything very elegant. And that bow! So gorgeous!
I have been a long-time poppy lover....our china is Amapola from Villeroy and Boch, which has beautiful coral and lavender poppies. We will have our 24th anniverary this year!

yep, can't wait to get all of the new ones. I'm suppose to be selling SU stamps, and here I am more tempted to get these fabulous Flourish stamps instead. They are just so beautiful and so what I've been ready to see out there and available.

Oh GOSH!!!! How absolutely stunning.
I've not been a fan of poppies, but my new house has some in the garden that are massive red poppies, just like this and I think I'm quite taken with them.

This is really beautiful. I have the retired SU Botanicals set which reminds me a little of this new set. I hope to pull it out and use your beautiful layout and color scheme to make it look new again!

wow. this one just stopped me in my tracks. i love every bit of it and in particular i'm loving that Sanded bg you've done behind the main image - that just sent it over the top for me. The colors, the butterflies, that amazing text at the bottom so perfectly edited... amazing card - little work of art.
