    Last month a sweet blogger friend introduced me to Moondrea Designs images. The artist/owner, Andreia Silva, has an Etsy page HERE and is sponsoring her first FB Progressive Challenge this month HERE. I really liked this month's free digi so I signed up for the Progressive Challenge and can’t wait to see what September offers!

     I wanted the poppies on Andreia’s digi to stand out, so other than the flowers and hair, used pale pastel shades for the rest of the coloring. I grounded the card with a poppy field silhouette from Sheepski Designs, and black photo corners.

     I’m entering this card into several challenges including Time Out: Photo Inspiration (my card, especially the sentiment, fits the theme of Friendship/Encouragement/Support)
