Memory of the Heart

It's Monday!  And it's the beginning of December, so that means there is a new set of challenges over at Make My Monday (MMM).  I was delighted and honored, recently, to be asked to be a Guest Artist for MMM during the month of December.  Design Team Member, Caz, selected Potpourri Challenges for December.  For the first week, our challenge is to create a project with "Favorite Flowers."  I LOVE all flowers and am particularly drawn to flowers in orange and red tones.  Caz's favorite flowers are "Poppies."  I decided to create a card of my own around poppies.  All images are from Artistic Outpost.  The poppies, butterfly catcher and sentiment are from the Flower Market plate and the postcard is from Ephemera Background plate. Vintage Photo Distress Ink was used on the card base, the lace, doily and the stamped images to age the card elements.  Simple embellishments include orange burlap string, vintage buttons, a bit of cheese cloth and copper butterflies.  What is your favorite flower?  I hope you will join us over at Make My Monday with your favorite blooms! Best wishes, Yvonne
