Welcome
I have been MIA over the past few days, as DH has not been well and there have been various medical appointments and a few days in hospital for him, so time has been at a premium.
I would also like to extend a welcome to Lozzy of Nins Handmade Cards, my newest follower. Do pop over and see her wonderful work.
I love this Prim Poppy, Memory Box die, and decided to go for a dramatic look with this card, using a black background.
I cut the black layer, and then also cut the die out of white and coloured it with markers and inserted it on the black, after spraying the black with a lemon glimmer mist, which turns green on dark colours....
The sentiment was stamped in Delicata Gold, and I used a fine brush pick up some ink to complete the letters across the stems. (Not that is shows in the photo). The final detail was two layers of washi tape and some green rhinestones.

Oh...sending healing prayers to your DH! Your poppy card is brilliant! I also loved the splatters over it! :)
Hope your DH gets better soon.
You have used one of my all time fave dies here - dramatic card. Like it!
What a beautiful CAS card Maxine! Those flowers really pop against the dark background! Sending my wishes that your DH feels better soon. hugs :)
Maxine, Poppies always make a card look super. I like the splotches sprayed on the black. A wonderful way o say Happy Birthday. Thank you so much for entering your creative and beautiful art in our challenge at Word Art Wednesday.

Fabulous work of art, gorgeous image, wonderful additions and super fabulous design.xxx {aNNie}
Wonderful effect with the misty drops and that pretty diecut!!
This is a fabulous card, but I think you must have missed that we only allow a maximum combination of five sites for our challenges!
I really hope you'll join us again!
Thanks so much

What a nice card design. I like that splattery background for added interest. I hope the hubs is doing better now.
This is gorgeous, really stylish and eye catching. I love the black and orange - the poppies really pop against the background. Fab!
Maxine, sorry to hear DH has been poorly, but certainly hope he is much, much better now. Family is priority above all else. Love what you've done with this particular die. It's so dramatic with the orange & black, and I love the overspray effect. (thought you'd used frontage, which I can never seem to manage well). Didn't know the spray would change so radically over dark...also like the Delicata gold sentiment the way you've done it. Just a beautiful card. Prayers for healing, Hugs & TFS
Nice card. Thanks for sharing at Less is More!

Maxine, this card is stunning! Love the splattery look and that little strip of paper with the rhinestones on it set against the dark background is very nice. Lovely!

Hope and pray that hubby is soon on the mend .. the meds etc do their job properly for him.

A beautifully elegant diecut over a simple and effective background - Thanks for sharing your creativity this week with us at Glitter n Sparkle, add a punch / die challenge -Vic, DT x
Maxine, I have this die or a similar one. I did not think to color the flowers which is a great idea. Thanks. Sylvia D. www.smdgreetings.blogspot.ca
Beautiful flowers and the gold is a perfect touch. Thank you so much for joining us for our challenge over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends!!

That background is amazing, Maxine. It's so sparkly and pretty. I am just guessing that it's even prettier in real life when the light catches all that glimmery goodness. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I just LOVE visiting your blog.
Hugs,

This is one of my favorite dies, too, Maxine, and I am over the moon with the drama you created in this gorgeous card!! I hope your DH is recovering well! Hugs, Darnell
Wow.. love the boldness! What a fun and impressive card Maxine!
Fantastic vibrant die-cut bloom against your spectacular black and splattered BG. Sadly at Less is More we only accept 5 challenge combos including our own therefore this card wouldn't qualify on this occasion at LIM but thanks for playing along at ATCAS this week as it's a perfect take on the challenge there. Thanks so much. Sarah (ATCAS and LIM DT)
A very beautiful card Maxine!
