Stef what a wonderful idea to be inspired by home! Although my home is now in Seattle, I was born in California. When I think of California I think of the beautiful red poppies which used to abound there.
This was great fun, thanks Stef and thanks for the sketch this week, Rox, which I used today.
The white panels are bugged with a Sizzix folder, the poppy is colored with Prismacolors and Gamsol. Popped up the image panel on dimensionals and added ribbon, brads and paper piercing. The image is from the Internet, courtesy of Princessheather. Thanks, Heather!
Hope you like it and thanks for looking! I can't wait to see what everyone brought to the gallery today. I'll be back to comment!

Your card is beautiful!!! I love poppies and grow them in my garden!! How do you deal with all of the rain and cloudiness in Seattle? I would be so depressed.

I see those poppies everywhere, they are soooo pretty as is the one here. Every time I see one I think of that Seinfeld episode where Elaine tested positive for drugs from eating a poppy seed muffin. hehe Miss M, I love how you colored your poppies here. This is just wonderful. TFS :0)
