Today's card has been designed for the Poppy Sketches Challenge . Here are the sketch and colors we were invited to use this week:
And here's my card:
I thought this was kind of a fun sketch to play with. I chose to cut a square out of the top of the card and insert the image behind it. You can't see the dimension too well in the photo, but it's there. Then I did a double frame using the green and black from the challenge colors.

These are the materials I used:
Gina K Designs White Card Stock
Gina K Designs Black Onyx Card Stock
Gina K Designs Fresh Asparagus Card Stock
Graphic 45 In the Garden Patterned Paper
Sweet and Sassy Poppies and Greetings Stamp
