The stamp is POPPY TILE COLLAGE. My mom and her sister (my Aunt Helen) would love this one! They were both crazy about orange and green! My mom loved when the poppies came out in June!
The whole stamp is about 4-1/2 in square (check link for exact measurements, please). Once I colored it I wanted some dimension to it. Instead of stamping and coloring another image as one would usually do, I just used my craft knife and a ruler to cut along the lines of the image. With the 'poppy box' cut out I mounted it on black and raised it on dimension pieces. With the black mounting my edges beneath don't show! Finally, because I thought it needed something else I added the small black pearl to each corner and some vintage photo distress stickles to the center of my poppy.
thanks so much for stopping by today! Please remember you can comment on the post below for a chance to win a card I've made and a Magnolia stamp.
Have a great day!

WoW Cheryl, I just love the card, Gorgeous stamp, and wonderful coloring of it. Love the writing in the back, so romantic. And the background paper, is just perfect to enance this romantic feeling, by its colors, it's vintage look, and the wonderful design.
