Red...Poppies...

   This weeks challenge at Cute Card Thursday is for this past Sunday, Remembrance Sunday.  Our card is to be made with the color Red, or to feature Poppies.   Mine has both.   I have always loved this SU stamp from the "Oh So Lovely" set.
   The image is colored with Copics, shaded with Pebbles chalk, and Stickles were added for a little sparkle.  I used a Nesties Scallop, added Primas and ribbon.  The dp is from K & Co. Designer Mat Pad by Susan Winget.  It goes perfectly with the poppies!!  I also used the Bow Easy for the first time!! I definitely need to practice, but I think it turned out ok.
    I didn't do very well at bowling this week!! I only bowled my average of 130 for one game out of 3... Oh well, maybe next week!!

This is really pretty, love the image and I always love red :) You did a great job on the bow, I still struggle sometimes with the bow easy and then do the "rabbit ears" :) Great coloring as usual, I think of you since I have an image to color and I have company, so I will sit in my chair, markers and image in hand while I visit with my in-laws and son. Have a great holiday, hope you get to see Hunter.
