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:
Krafty Chicks #786 - CAS
NBUS #78 - Never Before Used Sctuff
Seize the Birthday #313 - Use Embossing

Love that pop of bright pretty color! This is a marvelous CAS card, Bonnie!
My second favorite flower and you brought them to life with the beautiful red coloring, Bonnie.
Your NBUS box must be more like a trunk!! I love the intense color you got too. I think red must be one of my favorite colors. Red has so much energy. I really do like the embossed background. Just enough texture without being too busy.

Love the pretty red poppies on your lovely embossed background. A fabulous CAS card Bonnie. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
Beautiful and vibrant, these poppies are destined to get all the attention they deserve! Well done, Bonnie, with your sweet gift
Wow, those poppies are amazing, Bonnie! They almost look like real pressed flowers, but very freshly preserved. Love the linen background, too. All over amazing! I love seeing your NBUS and it makes me feel better than we're in the same boat.
I think we all love poppies too. These are gorgeous. i love the rich red and pops of black xx
CAS and oh so beautiful Bonnie! I love Poppies too and you've stamped and water colored these beautifully! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Your NBUS pile does that to you too? LOL! This is stunning Bonnie! I really love the background texture with the thicker paper. Need to remember that. Thanks for playing with us at Seize the Birthday!
