Poppy Trio Birthday Card

Today I'm sharing a poppies card I've CASEd from page 25 of the SU! 2021 -2022 annual catalogue.  I've never been a fan of the colour orange but I do quite like Mango Melody and that's what I went for on my version of the card.  Here's my card and envelope.

Here's my card.  I've used some Mango Melody gingham patterned paper from a retired pack of Brights DSP for my strip down the side of the card and I edged that with a narrow strip of Basic Black CS.  I embossed the Basic White panel with the 'Brick & Mortar' 3D embossing folder and glued that in place.  To colour in the poppy flowers and leaves I used Light Soft Sea Foam, Dark Mint Macaron, Light Petal Pink, Dark Flirty Flamingo, Light So Saffron and Dark Mango Melody Stampin' Blends.  I really tried to leave some white space as I like that look.  The flowers and sentiment panel are popped up on Dimensionals.

Here's the inside of the card with more gingham and a sentiment label.

More gingham paper went on the front of the envelope.  I love gingham, I think it's so cheery!
