Poppy Seed Challenge

Lisa Johnson has a new challenge on her blog.  The challenge was to use these three seeds in a project:
  1. A stamped flower image
  2. Crystals, rhinestones, or gems (in other words: BLING!)
  3. The color light yellow
Here's a birthday tag I made using these elements:

The tag was die cut from SU Bigz Two Tags.  There are actually two layers: bottom layer is Bitty Dots pp - Spring Moss and the top layer is linen vellum.  I then stamped the flower image from my new PTI set Year of the Flowers: Violets in Dark Chocolate.  The kraft layer is from my new PTI die: Fillable Frame. I then paper pieced another flower image.

All supplies are PTI unless otherwise noted.  Thanks for looking!

Supplies:
Stamps: Year of Flowers: Violets,  Butterfly Dreams, Communique Curves Sentiments
Ink: Dark Chocolate, Ranger Tea Dye Distress Ink, Ranger Mustard Seed Distress Ink
Paper: Kraft, Bitty Dots pp Spring Moss & Lemon Tart, Linen Vellum
Other Stuff: Dark Chocolate Satin Ribbon, Rhinestones, Pearls, Eyelet, Tag die cut from Sizzix SU Bigz Two Tags
