Birthday Poppies

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I'm still trying to get through my NBUS box.  It seems that I take 2 steps forward

and 3 steps back.

For this card I used a stamp and die set that a treasured friend sent me for my birthday.

She knows how much I like poppies!

I stamped the layered stamps on watercolor paper and blended the colors with

a waterbrush and Distress re-inkers used as watercolors.  I love the intense color

I was able to get.

I embossed a piece of Naturals White cardstock with my linen embossing folder.

Die cut the watercolored poppies and popped them on the embossed panel.

A foiled sentiment finishes it off.

Challenges:
