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

Beautiful card Liz, I’m very fond of poppies so bound to be a favourite with me.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to make use of your colored poppies!

The poppy image from the Hero Arts 'Delicate Blossoms' set looks stunning with its red Promarker coloring and sparkly green accents.
