It's Your Day

Born and raised in California, I was long familiar with the golden poppy - our state flower.  But it wasn't until I became a Flight Attendant and flew over the rustic countryside on approach to Spain's Barajas Airport that I learned that wild poppies came in red as well . . .

Even from a few thousand feet, those red poppies just glowed.  I had fun going for the same effect with this layout.  The stamp is actually a reverse image, so the poppies are surrounded by a background that is embossed in white.  The flowers are actually a little recessed and because of that, they were easy to color.
