Hello, thank you for stopping by and allowing me to inspire you to get creative! Today I would like to share with you how I created this Wild Poppies Congratulations card for the Global Design Project #GDP344.
When most people think of poppies, they think of the bright red poppies that we use for remembrance. When in fact, poppies come in lots of assorted colours. We grow California Poppies in our garden, which are an orange colour. I have chosen to use Mango Melody ink for my California Poppies.
California Poppies Congratulation Card
For this card I will be using the Painted Poppies stamp set and coordinating Painted Labels dies.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, measuring 9.7cm x 14.1cm. Stamp your larger splodge image into two opposite corners, using Soft Succulent ink. Repeat this several times, spreading towards the middle using first, second and third generation stamping, too great a background that graduates out towards the middle.
Trim a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock to 10cm x 14.4cm and adhere to the back of your Basic White layer. Then, adhere to a Thick Basic White card base, measuring 10.5cm x 14.9cm.
Using Mango Melody ink, stamp your poppies onto Basic Whites cardstock and die cut, using the coordinating dies. Stamp your leaves, using Old Olive ink and die cut also. Arrange over your stamped background and adhere with Multipurpose adhesive and Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a scrap of Basic Black cardstock, stamp your sentiment three times, using Versamark ink. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, shake off excess and heat until melted. Trim each to size and adhere to your card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I chose the congratulations from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.
Finishing Touches
To finish your card, add several Rhinestonel Basic Jewels.
