Welcome to Verve's April Diva Inspirations Hop. It's the 5th of the month and that means it's hopping time! This month we've got a fabulous challenge that's sure to put a string in your step!

For my card I am using Verve's Poppy Birthday stamp set along with Verve's Cut Above Build A Poppy and Flag It die sets.  I took the stems and wrapped around my stylus to create some curly ques.  I used the left over chads from the die cuttings to add some tiny red dot accenting.   I white embossed the sentiment.  I love  the way this card turned out.  

 Next on the hop is Karen!

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Betty

    LOVE this card! When I first saw it, my voice automatically said, "UMMMM!" Your card is just stunning! But of course, I love any card with poppies - they're gifts from God and the way you made your's POP off the background is truly magical!
