Poppy Birthday!~

 California Poppies are in bloom all over the hills, tucked into sidewalks, and along roads and trails right now.  They are so festive and bright!


I took a picture of these poppies while we were on a bike ride last week.  They are pretty invasive in a home garden so I enjoy them elsewhere. :)

I made this birthday card for a neighbor with the poppies in mind.


I'll tuck it into her mailbox while she is off celebrating at Stagecoach up in Palm Springs.

Supplies:
Stamps: A Real Wild Poppy by Hero Arts, sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes by SU!, inside sentiment by Papertrey Ink
Ink: Memento Pear Tart, Tangelo, Desert Sand, Vivid! Coffee Bean
Paper: Gina K Designs Pure Luxury Ivory, Chocolate Brown
Patterned Paper: Wanderer by Basic Grey
Other: May Arts Orange Crinkle ribbon, Tim Holtz clip, Word Window punch, Distressing tool, Memento Desert Sand marker, Spritzer tool, Corner rounder, Dimensional foam

Finished card is 3-1/4" x 6-1/2"
Stamped envelope to match :)
