Card Art Kilcoole

August DT Challenge

for Craft for the Craic

Theme,Inspiration from a photo.

this is the photo I choose

it a photo of my back garden

planted with all my favourite flowers

Lavender, Alchemilla Mollis, Sweet William, Peony roses, Delphinium, Lupins, Geranium  and so many more.

but my favourite and always has been is the poppy, it only lasts a few days, and this year the rain destroyed it, so there all cut back, but coming up again, so I may get a second bloom later in the year, 

I pick up the colours from my photo for this card, 

and chose the poppy as the theme

as you know the poppy is the flower of remembrance.

so made my card a "Thinking of you" card.

I wrote the poem below to go inside

Happiness is a garden planted

with many flowers.

Some small and insignificant 

Some sweet with their perfume

But the poppy for me

Outshines the rest

In remembrance of a dear loved one.
