Hi, our challenge this week at Rainbow Lady's Challenge blog is 'Poppies' and our lucky winner will receive a prize from our regular sponsor Joanna Sheen. I love Joanna's products and for my DT card i've used a stamp from the Poppy Fairy stamp sheet
I love the poppy fairy stamp but decided just to use the flower stamp for this card. Its one of those stamps with a lot of detail so I tried stamping it with pumice stone distress ink and watercolouring over it with more distress inks to that the lines didn't overwhelm the image. I've added black enamel accents to the centre of the flowers and cut out with nesties labels 11. I used bundled sage distress ink to distress the edges and matted on a red faux nestie.
I made the bp with more Poppy stamps, this time the leaves from Sheena Douglass' poppy paint fusion stamps again in bundled sage DT. I oversprayed with Lily Pad glimmer mist and again used bundled sage DI for distressing around the edges.
To finish off I've stamped the sentiment on a little scrap of the BP, again cut with nesties 11 and added some red organza ribbon and a little paper poppy from my stash.
