Welcome
Today it's time for another Craftlandia Challenge hosted by Mia on her blog. This is a quarterly challenge and now it is June the 22nd it is time for the 23rd Craftlandia Challenge. Today our theme is poppies (or anything goes) and our sponsor is Conjurer of Dreams.
Our generous sponsor is giving away 4 sets of your choice. I can't think of a better reason for joining us.
Here is my poppy card made with a Conjurer of Dreams image.
These are such lovely images. I don't often use digital images on my cards, so I am pleased to be trying something different for me. When I started making this I had no idea how it would end up, but I decided that I wanted to have a dreamy feel to it, so I cropped my image to just include those lovely poppies and the dreamy sky. For some reason I decided to use one of my many square card blanks. This one is just under 6 inches. I used Catherine Pooler Samba ink to colour the frames as it was a close match for the image, and embossed the white frame with Honey Bee's Sandy Garden 3D embossing folder. The sentiment is by Uniko. I embossed the flap of the envelope too.
I hope you will be able to find time to join us with the theme of spring. Head over to Mia's blog to find all the details and more inspiration from my fellow DT members Craftlandia 23.

Beautifully done Hilary. The dreamy sky and the poppies are definitely eye candy.
Such pretty poppies, Hilary! I also love the embossing and red framing!
This is an absolutely lovely card, Hilary, and especially so for sympathy. The image does have a dreamy feel. The embossing is gorgeous! It couldn't be more perfect for the Just Us Girls challenge, too!
I love the way you've framed those pretty poppies AND that you decorated the envelope too! This is a wonderful card, Hilary. So happy to have it in our Just Us Girls gallery!
Beautiful image and beautifully framed with your embossed background ♥
What an exquisite card Hilary - love that you kept it so simple with just the red and white and some texture around that wonderful image!

Very delicate card with the poppys and the white embossing! Hope to join you!
The frames really bring your eye into the beautiful image, Hilary. The embossing adds wonderful dimension and I love that you did it on the envelope flap too. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us GIrls.
Your poppies are so pretty, Hilary, and they do look dreamy against the sky. I love the embossed background, and the envelope makes it extra special.
Hope you are well,
Hugs

I love how you turned the poppies into something so dreamy and soft. It’s always refreshing to see someone try a new technique and make it their own. That embossed frame really brings it all together nicely.
Oh, how lovely! The digital image is perfect against the white embossed background! A very pretty card, indeed!!
Hilary, your card is absolutely breathtaking. The way you isolated those gorgeous poppies against that dreamy sky gives it such a serene and painterly quality. I love how you paired the soft image with the crisp white embossed frame—it really adds that touch of elegance and dimension. Using matching ink for the red frame was a brilliant choice, and embossing the envelope flap ties everything together beautifully.
Wonderful use of the digital image, Hilary! Love that embossed panel, too!
I love the white embossed frame and envelope for this beautiful image of red poppies, the card looks so nice! Besitos...
Me encanta, es una preciosidad de tarjeta. Queda muy elegante con el repujado y las amapolas forman un bello conjunto.

Hi Hilary
What a beautiful card .. .. such a lovely image and the embossing is gorgeous. Nice finishing touch to emboss the envelope flap too (might have to steal that idea for my Christmas cards this year)!
Looking forward to seeing your stitched creations!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment on my blog.
Love Jules xx
That is one gorgeous and very striking card Hilary! Your embossed background and on the envelope is super pretty and the red makes everything pop.
I love how you framed this pretty poppy image. I have tons of such images, and must try this. Thanks for the inspiration.
That is a lovely card! I'm so sorry I'm so late leaving you a comment, I got confused thinking I had already done that.
Kisses
