Here's my card:
I decided to make my own patterned paper by stamping the text stamp on the white background. LOVE the font!
I also LOVE their Electric Red paper and ink! I die cut the poppies, stamped them with red, and then clear embossed them. I LOVE how juicy they look! They are even prettier in person!
I also am in LOVE with the Die-namics Dainty lace border but I didn't like the text peeking through the openings. I cut a strip of black paper for a background and I think this little detail makes the border stand out even more.
I hope you like my card. It is going to a special blog friend in the UK who sent me a bunch of crafty goodies just because!

Such a pretty card Sue! I love how you showcased the pretty poppies and your text stamped background looks AMAZING! Thanks for joining along with MFT :)
Can't go wrong with red/white/black! So dynamic and bold, yet those poppies lend such a dainty feel to this. I like your handstamped text background, Sue!

Love your self-made BG paper and your electric red colour -how cool & talk about juicy!
