    Beautiful cards! The second elegant and simple. The first, layered and more complex. Really liked the way you have the poppies extending over the panel on the second card. Very well done.

    Two very pretty cards! The first is my favorite, though. The colors and paper are beautiful and I really like the look of part of the poppies being "outside" the box. Great job.

    Your cards are very pretty. I like that you didn't use traditional "poppy" colors on the second card. Very soft and nice.

    These two cards are beautiful. The coloring on the first card is so pretty. The matching ribbon and the pearls really set the finishing touches. The 2nd card is elegant. The sandy beach cardstock, the gold embossing and the button and twine really set it off. Thanks
