p is for poppy

http://cardz4galz.blogspot.com/

At Cardz 4 Galz the current challenge is something with a P and I chose poppies. The stamps are from an incentive set by GKD and I stamped the poppies onto some watercolour paper using Versamark. I stamped the sentiment on a white scrap piece and heat embossed both in silver. The die set is from Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 6 and I used the largest one to die cut the panel and a smaller one for the sentiment. To get the border around the image piece I traced around the outside of the die, fussy cut and then inked the edges with Black soot. I water coloured the flowers using Barn door ink and added the background with Twisted Citron. I also sprayed a bit of Lindy’s Starburst on top for some spatter. As I began to assemble the pieces I realized that the card front needed a bit of something so using the same stamp and some Hickory Smoke I randomly stamped around the card not worrying about getting defined lines. I found a small ladybug button in my stash and cut off the back part so I could glue it flat but I see on the photo that it doesn’t show nicely. In reality it looks pretty. I am out of red embellishments but managed to find a few so they were added as well.

I’m quite pleased with the end result and it will go to someone who truly inspires me eventually. Thanks for spending time with me it is appreciated.

    1. Thanks Lisa. I got the idea to trace around the die from a video I watched a while ago and decided to try it.
