I've been multitasking this weekend, with a small craft table set up in front of the television so I can craft and watch the football (soccer) at the same time. I have a growing box of part finished projects, stamped images and die cuts which I decided I should start using up. This image was coloured up ages ago and I thought it was about time I used it on a card.
The stamp is one of my favourite poppy stamps, a stamp from the Hero Arts 'Delicate Blossoms' set. The image was coloured with red Promarkers and a sparkly green pen. I layered the image and the panel of patterned paper on black mats. The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up ' Best Year set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Nocturne'. Three black flower gems finished off my card.
I am joining in the following challenges:
A Poppy stamp I often use as well Liz, beautifully done in the contrasting colours. Many thanks for sharing at Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping challenges.

This is a really pretty poppy image Liz and beautifully coloured in a beautiful bright red and enhanced with the green sparkle pen for the foliage, and the black and red dotty paper is absolutely perfect and such a pretty font for the sentiment and love the black flower gems to finish. x
