Friends with Flair - and Tuesday Trigger - Pretty Poppies


Good morning! Whew...feels good to be getting back in the groove of life again! Our family just got back a couple of days ago from a house scouting trip in Wyoming, where we are moving. I had a couple of posts scheduled while I was gone - but was also way behind on getting stuff done! So I have been hitting things as hard as I can! I made this card using the months Unity Kit of the Month Sketch Challenge to link up for weeks Unity Friends with Flair, and also used the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger for the week. Here is what I made:
Here is the trigger photo:


And here is the sketch:


I love this poppy stamp from the April 2012 KOTM - so pretty and versatile! I stamped it on an oval cut with my Spellbinders Nestabilities, colored it with Copics, and inked the edges with some Tim Holtz distress ink. 
The pattern papers are all from Crate Paper's Odds and Ends 6x6 paper pad - I even stamped the sentiment on a scrap of one of the papers that had a frame in it that fit perfectly with the sentiment - also from the same KOTM.
Added some lace from Ribbon Carousel, a border cut with a MFT border Die-namic, and a PTI button with a bit of jute twine. 
Thanks for stopping by! Make sure and head over to the Unity blog for more info on Friends with Flair and a chance to win some fun stamps!
