Green Poppies? Hmmmm!

Is it good to be back in the craft room after being gone for a week.  When I first returned, my Mojo was still on vacation.  It must have missed the plane back, for it was no where to be found.  Then, today, it showed up.  I am sure glad it did, because making cards without my Mojo, is not a pretty thing. 
So I have made one card to enter in three challenges this week.  Here is it!
I started with a black onyx base card, then layered with an ivory layer that I embossed with a folder and London Fog memento ink.  The image is Counrty Bouquet from Power  Poppy and one that was given to me for being a Peep of the week.  Yeah!  To satisfy the Poppy Sketches challenge, I colored it with the yellow and green.  That is why I ended up with green poppies.   The papers bow is from Lil Inkers die and the cute leafy swirls are a cutout from a previous die.  I never throw peices away!  Sometimes they come in handy! 
I am entering this card in these challenges

    What an absolutely splendid color combination for this image!! Being from California, I rarely think of poppies as being any other color than orange. But boy, oh boy do your green poppies look lovely!! Love it when people think out of the box!! So glad you joined Power Poppy this week!!
