Die Cuts - Crafty Boots Challenge

Hi, welcome to another challenge from Crafty Boots. It was my turn to choose the theme this fortnight and at the time I picked it, I was all fired up with ideas.... shame I didn't sit down and make something right away then...

Anyhow, my current favourite die is the Prim Poppy by Memory Box - so elegant!

I made a tag, using a background I had previously done with some Paperartsy Fresco paints following a challenge on their blog (using up resources, right?!)

this was the background - I had been scraping paint (Limelight, South Pacific and Ice Blue) on a journal page and this was the leftover scrapings

 I had several of the poppies cut out from black card and they add a touch of drama against the background.

The white birds were given me by a friend - also a Memory Box die I believe (I need to get this one too!) and they looked kind of cute sitting on the poppies..

a spotty green ribbon to finish.

and some grass (Paperartsy from one of Jo Firth-Young's sets)
to ground it all..

Hope you enjoy playing with your die cuts for Crafty Boots this time.
