Poppies are my fav too! We had some huge ones this year in our flower beds. You have created some outstanding poppies for your card. Thanks so much for sharing your talents & techniques. I am definitely going to try to make some of these poppies. I hope I can do them justice. Thanks again!

Simply gorgeous card!! I love the shimmer on the poppies, the pretty ribbon and all! I saw your work on The Classroom and just had to come tell you.

Quite delightful!! Love the poppies & your helpful tips!

Oh Lisa! This is so super pretty! Poppies make me swoon. Love that die sooooo much, too. Your stitching and all that Perfect Pearls are just divine. Gorgeous card, my friend. :)
Amazing card. I’ll be buying that poppy die for sure, after seeing this beauty!
Absolutely love your work and excited to see you contributing to the CLASSroom with such a beautiful card! Also, I have to tell you that I was totally inspired to buy the neon inks by Hero Arts based on the cards you made. (I was a skeptic about neon, but after seeing you work with the new colors, I couldn’t resist!)
Gorgeous card – I love all the ways you added shimmer & shine to the card – it must be stunning IRL! And the stitching at the centre of the poppy looks incredible. Thanks for the chance to win (Ellen Hutson is super generous & don’t get me started on what incredible service her store provides – one of my favorite places to shop!).
LOVE those poppies! They are one of my very most favorite flowers…I love how they look so fragile and like tissue paper…(the real flower, that is!) But using perfect pearls gives them such a wonderful shimmer! Fantastic card!
Lisa-what a great way to add depth and dimension to the poppy die cuts. They look fabulous – I purchased the die to cut out felt for a card, but I am so inspired to use your coloring techniques with paper. Thanks for sharing.
Great lesson in the Classroom! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love this cards. It speaks to my style clean and simple. The poppies pop of the page and the burlap adds such a nice touch of texture.
I love everything about your project!
Lisa, as usual, you’ve done a wonderful job of creating a gorgeous card with this new die. Gotta have it and the metal shim as well. Thanks for sharing your talents with those of us who love to stamp, but aren’t so talented as you.
PS, The way you used the holes in the die cut to sew lines around the center makes the center look like a real life poppy. Brilliant idea. Thanks again.
LOOOOOOVE this card, Lisa – the colors are so clear and poppy-like :)) And love them against that new background stamp, too – gorge!

Love your card lisa! And love the classroom too. Want to “lift” your design, it is so pretty!
Beautiful card and I love how you used the ribbon! I am a new follower:)
Awesome tutorial! I am definitely going to try this technique. Love the tip about ‘shimmering up’ the inside of the envelope flap….nice toouch!
Strolled through your blod while I was visiting. Your work is amazing!
Hi Lisa, I loved your project and the geat instructions; so glad to see you in “The Classroom”!
I love the color of the poppies!! So pretty!! Thank you for sharing it!!
Love the flower die. Have a collection started, now I just need time to play with them. Thanks for the chance to enter!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! Your card is beautiful. I hadn’t thought about using watercolor paper for die cuts before and now that’s something you have inspired me to do. I love the way the poppies looked after being misted with the Perfect Pearls. The watercolor paper seems to take the multiple misting well. I also love the background stamp you used. It’s one I never would have chosen but it’s so perfect for giving a subtle sophisticated look to the card. Thanks again!

Simply beautiful! I’ve wanted those distress inks forever and that new Hero Arts stamp was put on my wish list the second I saw it! Thanks for the opportunity to win these goodies!
