SSSC123 - Poppies

Good morning!  It's time for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #123, Karen has another fantastic sketch for us this week and we hope you'll play along.

For my card I used the Papertrey Ink anniversary stamp set Botanical Silhouettes, the first time I saw this stamp set I thought of the red Oriental poppies that I used to grow at our first home.  Some of the blooms would get so large that they were the size of small dinner plates and so gorgeous to look at with the translucent petals that were a vivid red.  I started out by inking the stems in old olive ink and stamping off before stamping them onto my cardstock so that my sentiment would show up nicely stamped on top.  Then I stamped my petals in poppy parade (perfect color huh?) and added my outline using a fine black pen.  The two poppy parade squares were stamped with another stem image from the set in poppy parade ink and adhered to the front of my black card base. 

Once I tied on my green ribbon I adhered my image using foam tape and added four red rhinestones to the petals.
