I am having a really hard time keeping up with all that I'm doing. But, I did have time to play in the Ways to Use it challenge on Splitcoaststampers last week. The challenge was to use dots. They could be made by drawing, using patterned paper, or an image of dots. I chose the paper .
I hand made the poppies with an orchid petal multi punch by Punch Bunch. Yes, that is odd to make a poppy with an orchid petal punch but that is how it is done. The top layer behind the poppies is a Make an Impression Poppy punch-in stamp. It's another one of my Atlanta purchases. I also used used a McGill starburst punch for the flower center.
I colored the poppies and leaves with Copics, used PTI Bitty Dot Basics dp and DIY Shop notch banner/American Crafts. I added the black and white twine and was finished.
Have a great weekend.

Wao! Absolutely gorgeous card, Benzi. I love the dramatic red and black combo you have used. Those poppies have turned out very beautiful! :)
Gorgeous card, Brenda! Love the bright red poppies against the black dotted background! Very striking design! Have a great weekend!
I first saw this card at Split Coast, I believe I commented on it there...at least I hope I remembered to commet there...smile. This card is so pretty it is worth a second look. I like how you punched those flowers and with an orchid punch. How creative! That's one thing I like about punches...so much you can do with them (If you know how) and you sure do...
You get a double WOW on this one! Love a red, black, and white card - and that pop of green is so pretty on here. Gorgeous blooms and a gorgeous card.

Pure genius Brenda! Love your bright red poppies and the dots and other special touches on this. It looks even prettier on your blog than it does on SCS. Hugz and have a great weekend!
This is stunning, Brenda! Those poppies literally POPPED (lol) off the page and the b/w polka dot and text background offsets them perfectly!! Have a great weekend! Hugs, Darnell
Wow, this is beautiful, Brenda! Who would have thought that you could make poppies from orchids? I love the rich color you achieved with the Copics!
What a fantastic, brilliant and eye-popping card this is! Those poppies are dazzlers and I love the text with polka dots. The pop of green color ties this one up beautifully!
This simply blew me away. That gorgeous hot red - beautiful poppy - against the newsprint and black dot paper...What a wonderful design and super use of color to make such a lovely card! Don't think I've got any Punch Bunch supplies. And don't know Make an Impression punches either. But it worked a treat on this card. TFS & Happy wkend.
