Lemon poppies

Poppies are wonderful one day affairs - here today, gone tomorrow. Now lemony citrusy poppies might be a botanical anomaly, but I took the liberty. I was challenged by a blog to use yellow (and combine it with green) and I must say I love the outcome.

Several things make me happy: I was able to use the green background that I originally created for the purple flower card.

Secondly, that citrus yellow thread was just a short length, but it was enough to sew the edging with. And thirdly, that ladybug was a happy accident. The second letter N had created an ink spot that needed covering.

Flowers, always flowers

It's time for some flowers. Today I challenged myself to move away from my favorite colors (which are plenty) and try to use my least favorite color, which is purple. 

I recently purchased this stamp set second hand - it looked so whimsical and I today I am using it for the first time. I think the whimsy takes away the serious edge of purple. (Anyway, that's how I feel about purple.) Here I am still toying with a green stenciled background. Which I then ditched for a simple grey-beige one, the flowers are busy, the background dows not need to be.

The finished card:
