Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I love poppies and I love dies that add texture and dimension. So when I saw
this die in a Simon Says Stamp release recently, I snapped it up.
I am not disappointed.
There are pieces for two poppies on this die and I cut them out of
mixed media paper.
I laid the pieces on another piece of mixed media paper and watercolored
by picking up ink from the inside of some Stampin' Up inkpads. My messy
watercoloring added some color to what would become the background of my poppies.
I die cut the "over wash" piece, assembled the poppies and added them, stamped
and die cut a sentiment and it was done.

Gorgeous card with those pretty poppies. You did a great job coloring them and using the "overwash" piece for the background. Love it.

You have a good eye when it comes to buying just the right thing. The flowers are so pretty but most of all I like the background you created.

Wow, what a stunning card! I love how you created the bg panel for these lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love poppies too, Bonnie, and these are exceptionally lovely in yellow and coral. The overwash on the background always looks so great and I don't know why I never try it. Thanks for sharing it with us at Just Us Girls and The Flower Challenge.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a way with poppies! This is beautiful, Bonnie. Love your color choices too. What a wonderful way to say happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, These are such pretty flower dies and your pastel colors go so well with their soft look.I also like the soft background in the same colors. It adds just enough to ground those flowers. Great card for our color challenge at Just Us Girls! Thanks for joining us!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Bonnie. Great way to use the ink scraps too on the other paper for your background. A bright and cheerful card!
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful. x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, and that overwash piece brings it all together nicely.
ReplyDeleteIf I tried to make such a beautiful background on purpose, it would never work. But chance is a reliable artist, he always creates great works. I love this card, the poppies are gorgeous and the background is stunning!

Beautiful poppies, Bonnie. LOVE the background which looks like more flowers in the distance. Lovely card! xx
ReplyDeleteI love it when you do that technique. You have become a real expert at it. I am yet to be brave enough to give it a go. Your poppies are gorgeous xx
ReplyDeletePretty trio of poppies, Bonnie - love your design too!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Poppies card, Bonnie:-) I Love how you added your colors, which made a unique background for your beautiful poppies:-) TFS Love and Hugs, Nancy
ReplyDeleteI have this die in my cart waiting for me to finish shopping! Love how you used it and wonderful inspiration. Thanks for sharing this over at The Flower Challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love the die cut poppies, so stylish and such pretty tones of pink and yellow Bonnie, and the overwash background looks marvellous...a beautiful card. x
ReplyDeleteI can see why you wanted this one, Bon! And I love your design and coloring. That background technique is so simple, but so effective, and for some reason it continues to refuse to stay in my brain!! Maybe pinning will help this time! Thank you for playing with my I.D.E.A.S. and linking again in the NBUS gallery! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Bonnie, I think these dies were made for your and your overwash painting!
ReplyDeleteI love poppies too. And these are gorgeous ones - I might have to look for the dies. Love the soft colours and the way the background turned out.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, ethereal background from your 'painting paper, Bonnie, and a stunning card with those gorgeous poppies in the foreground
