Poppy "Pop"

Poppies hold a special place in my heart. The meaning behind them reminds me of the story of Flanders Field I learned in history class some 20+ years ago. My great grandfather fought in that war, a man whom I had never met. 

I made this card to participate with the current Unity challenge. We are challenged to use a  kraft colored base, twine and add one splash of any color. I have a lot of stamps to choose from, but decided on these flowers, and then instantly knew my splash of color. Red is the color for poppies, and it makes a beautiful contrast to the kraft cardstock used.
