The Queen for the Day challenge over at SCS is Arizona Maine. (See previous post for another card CASEing Angela.) She's one fantastic stamper! I really loved this card when I saw it. I don't have this particular stamp although I would love to have it. A few months back we did this technique at our stamping group in Roanoke Rapids. I was delighted to be able to use the background poppy stamp that one of the ladies brought, but had never colored it. I pulled it out and had some fun.
I used Stampin' Up! markers to color the flowers.
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted
Card Recipe
Stamps: Poppies (Hero Arts), Petite Pairs
Ink: VersaMark, Jet Black StazOn, SU Markers (Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade)
Paper: Whisper White
Other: Black EP, Stripes EF, Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon (retired), Large Oval Punch
When we were working on the embossing, there was a lot of static in the tables. Black embossing powder was going everywhere. I thought I could make a mess with embossing powde!. Multiply that by 8 and imagine!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Enjoy!
The technique is the same, but this background was embossed with black instead of white and I used warmer colors.
The colors are from the Paper Players challenge this week and they were perfect for this project.

Hi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing your absolutely beautiful poppies, I tried to find them at Hero Arts, but no luck. I was so taken by your art work. You have a big fan in me!
