Lori always comes up with the greatest inspiration pieces for her Divine Diva Inspiration challenges, and I thought the White House | Black Market catalog cover she chose for this week was especially wonderful. Red, white and black = one of my favorite color combos; poppies = one of my favorite flowers; beads and jewelry = well, who doesn't love those; vintage and a little shabby = a look that I love. So I have to admit, this one really wasn't much of a challenge at all!
The layout for my card comes from sketch challenge #270 at
Splitcoast Stampers. The papers are all Basic Grey except for a couple of odds and ends mixed in. Some of the papers were too bright for my design, so I grunged them up as necessary with Copic markers and Distress Ink. I stamped the silhouette poppies, from
Starving Artistamps, with Fired Brick Distress Ink. The sentiment is actually dry embossed and then sanded to show the white core of the paper. To finish everything off, I added some ribbon and a cool charm I found on clearance at Michael's.
