My First Napkin Card for My MIL using Sylvia Zet's Poppy

Hi all, hope you are all well, had the day off and spent if cleaning then crafting for fun, had a look what challenges there were in my side bar and came up with this.  Finally got to use this gorgeous image of Sylvia Zet's "Poppy".  I have used the tutorial for the Napkin Fold Card from Splitcoaststampers.  Papers used are from Kaisercraft 6 x 6 paper pad 'Tea at Elsie's Collection'. 
Martha Stewart Pansies around the page punches, kindyglitzed the edge of the pansies, the butterflies are coloured with copics and spicas then glimmermisted.  Flower ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

A closer look at the text and flowers

The inside, how cute is Poppy and the little ladybird


I have distress the edges, then coloured with B00, used Special effects on the eyes, hairband, ladybird and flowers, various spicas in her hair, wings and mushroom, then sprayed with 'dazzling diamonds glimmermist.  Cheery Lynn Designs Butterfly.


The back, I have made a Blossoms Flower pocket to hold the friendship recipe tag and to write the message on.


Love this stamp from LOTV, have also coloured the ribbon with my B02 to match.


I have had a fantastic day covered in ink, glitter and special effects and produced a card my MIM is going go love!!  She is coming over again later in the year for eight weeks and will celebrate her 88th Birthday with us.

Copics and Spicas used
