I can’t believe how long this card took me to make. I love the paper and the embellishments (poppies are one of my favourite flowers along with sunflowers) but coming up with a design was a nightmare, everything looked PANTS. I wanted to come out of my comfort zone and try a mix of papers, but I’m so rubbish at it.
The paper and embellishments are from K & Co by Tim Coffey and are beautiful, but in the end, after at least an hour and a half I went for “simple” and just added three brass dragonflies to add a bit of bling and texture.
It’s so hard, I wish I could mix and match my papers and embellishments like other bloggers do, perhaps I should find a template and design I like and work from there, making small changes with each card I make, till I finally “get it”

I love lillies... but poppies are so gorgeous too. The Himalayan blues and the ruffled pinks are pretty... but it's the deep red poppies that make me take a deep breath in... so so beautiful.
I love your card - the little dragonflies really finish it off beautifully.
Know what you mean - we must be on the same wavelength.... I'm hopeless unless I have white/cream somewhere - I like your finished card though, very pretty I love poopies x
