Poppy Love

Happy Saturday!
Julie here again with a card for this week's LOVE Challenge theme! It's no secret that I love floral images..especially I love to color them. Don't you just adore this Poppy Vase image? I couldn't wait to color it. Instead of bright red poppies, I made mine more of a coral, orangey color, sort of a California poppy color.  I used Copics to color it then a circle die to cut it out. I decided I only wanted a partial circle, so I cut off the left side. The remaining piece of white card stock, was trimmed and embossed with a small heart pattern before I attached them both to a piece of violet blue designer paper. The "love you" phrase was die cut out of a textured metallic copper card stock and I made a matching 1/2 inch "faux brad" out the same card stock and attached it to help fill in a little of the blank space.

The rest of the layout came about because of pieces I had left over and I decided I liked the way they fit. Be sure to check out the Sweet Stamps Love Challenge, you could win a fabulous prize!
