Welcome
Mother's Day in New Zealand is in May, so this card was requested a wee while ago.
I started by cutting the white panel with a stitched rectangle die, then masking the edge to stamp the image - an older Sweet n Sassy set, precious poppies,

The images were coloured with my Polychromo pencils, then coated with WoS, which seems to have smoothed out the shading somewhat.

I then brushed some ink onto the background

And added some 'worker stamps' in blue, golden Glitz and grey

The envelope was given a poppy border, using a smaller stamp from the set

And the inside finished with another stamp from the set, and a green and orange trimming - the orange is two layers of narrow washi tape.

Poppies are my favourite flowers and these remind me so much of some that my MIL gave to me from her garden before she moved house.
This is a delightful card, the background really works with the poppies, they certainly compliment one another.
Blessings, neet xx
