In bloom

I wanted to keep this card quite simple
as I wanted this beautiful Ribbon
Ali sent me from Crafty Ribbons
as the main focus of the card.

Both the blooms actually come off
and have brooch fittings so can be worn!

I had thought about edging the card,
with stitching or distressing or dots.
But I like it just as it is.

The buttons are quite dark
I wanted the flowers to look a bit like sunflowers,
The ribbon is such a lush colour.
Thanks Ali!!

The smaller tag moves over
to reveal a See D stamp
That says ....
Don't think of it as getting older....
You're simply in full bloom!

Now ....Miss Poppy-dog
has only just discovered that she can reach
and see what's on the work tops!
Not something I encourage!!!

But as I was trying to take a good shot of the card
at the back door where the light is the best.....

She appeared......reminding me
Her tin of dog treats lives there!!!

*sigh*

I want to enter this card in a few challenges.....
firstly Poppicrafts who want you to use

narrow ribbon as the main focus of the card.

Secondly I want to enter it in Colour Create who want
orange, green & brown.

And lastly ABC want you to keep it simple...


Now.....as you know I have had problems
with this concrete mole digging in my garden.....
As Andrew reckons it cant be his Poppy doing it!!
well it is back!!!

And Poppy had nothing to do with it!!!

The pile og compost belonged to a plant
that used to live in a plant pot......

See if I catch that mole!!!

much love
