Poppy Sympathy

Way back when I was taking the A Cut Above class* from Online Card Classes (Day 2, to be exact!), we learned about window cards, and several of the samples used elements that spanned the windows, which I decided was very cool.

So when Jennifer McGuire enabled me to need the Memory Box Prim Poppy die, I knew exactly what I'd do with it. Today I finally got to that project. Here's what I made:

My still-out pack of textured 2008 In Color card stock was the victim here. I die-cut the poppy out of Wild Wasabi, then cut the flowers out of Groovy Guava and trimmed them to layer over the green. Next, I cut the opening in the top layer with one of my petite oval nesties, then cut the frame out of Basic Gray. I prayed and prayed I'd kept a pack of the Afternoon Tea papers, and I did! Whoot! I cut a rectangle from one of the pieces and stuck it behind the window. I was going to stick it to the base to leave a real "window", but I wanted to stick down the droopy flower and didn't want to mess with a layer of acetate. Lazy.

A sentiment, some pearls, and done!  I kinda like it. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
