A Poppy for Brenda!

Good Morning Everyone, 
Brenda over at Floral Fantasies is celebrating her 4th blogversary and is almost at 4000 followers!! To celebrate she is holding a little competition, to make a card taking inspiration from her. Whether it be to case one of her cards or her blog header etc. 
There are alot of poppies on Brenda's cards and I think it is safe to say she has a soft spot for a Poppy. I love poppies too, so I decided I would make a card with one of these gorgeous flowers.
I thought I would try something a bit different but unfortunately the gorgeous card I had in my head is not the one you can see on my blog!!! 

The image was a free download but I can't remember where I got it from. If you do recognise it, would you let me know so that I can put a link back and give the credit where it's due.  I coloured it with my promarkers.

That was it really, just added a few gems and a bit of ribbon!
Congratulations Brenda!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my little blog today and for all your comments. Lorraine x
