Hello and Happy FriYay!
And here is my design team inspiration project. After looking at the inspiration board, I decided to go with the poppies and the colors red and navy blue with some bright white contrast. I pulled a sheet of SU navy card stock and made the base from it, using the leftover strips for the sentiment and little squares on each side of it.
I chose to make a slimline card and found this Splitcoaststampers sketch, following it pretty faithfully.
Since I was making a slimline, I pulled out my LDRS Slimline die cut set to use. I cut the white bottom mat, the next layer of Prima patterned paper and the navy and white squares. I used an old Sweet n Sassy stamp set for the poppies, which I stamped with VFClair Morning Mist grey ink and clear heat-embossed, then colored with Promarkers. There is also a small individual poppy in the set, so I stamped and colored 2 of those in the same way to layer onto the squares in the bottom corners. I cut the focal with a Spellbinders circle die and then ran a Promarker around the edge with the chisel point. (I only have a few sheets of the navy left and didn't want to cut into one of them for the circle mat, so I colored a faux mat. I also colored little red flowers on the patterned paper to accent the red of the poppies and used a gold glitter marker to dot the poppy centers and the little flowers in the paper. The Avery Elle sentiment was stamped in Versamark and white heat-embossed.
Inside are stamped Avery Elle sentiment on a sheet of white card.
The back has another sheet of the die cut Prima as I used on front, along with my usual stamped and punched siggie. You may notice, no red flowers like on front. I didn't color them on the back.

Last look.
I was going for a masculine vintage floral look, I hope I pulled it off!
And, I hope you find time to play in our challenge!
Have a great day and
Thanks for visiting.

Boy, did we give you a real challenge this time around...poppies and masculine!! It was a tough one but you nail it with this slim line card!! Thanks for playing along with us over at Cardz 4 Guyz with our Poppies/Remembrance challenge. -Deb Horst, DT #C4G330
Those poppies are beautiful. The colors and your card feel almost like a quilt; perhaps it's the background paper? (Which is pretty.) There's something about red with dark blue and also with grey blue that works so well. I can't believe it is already officially the middle of September. I hope you have a great weekend and maybe some cooler temperatures. The weather on TV has been focused on Lee and so I haven't seen what's going on weather wise around the country. hugs-Erika
