Most of you will know that I have been taking advantage of the current Craft Boots Challenge to use my poppy stamps and play around with colours and designs. It was a last minute impulse thing to order a Penny Black poppy stamp off the internet and it took so long to arrive it almost missed the Challenge, hence why I am here this morning with an emergency post!
But seriously, it is such I pretty stamp I just had to include it and I could not resist trying it in different colour palettes. However, this time I kept the layout simple and I made each card the same to crated a matched set.
I coloured each poppy image with Promarkers and mounted it on silver mirri card.
I then mounted it on a matching sheet of glitter card. I folded an A4 sheet of card in two to create my blank card and covered the front with a sheet of Dovecraft polka dot paper.
The ribbon and flat backed gems came from my stash and the sentiments are all from Craftwork Cards. Finally, I inserted a sheet of printer paper with a sentiment - I think it always looks nice when you open a card.
I was going to promise you that this would be the last you would see of my poppy stamps for a long, long time but I love this one so much I think I am going to put it on some candles to give as Christmas presents.
Don't forget to come back tomorrow to find out about the brand new Crafty Boots Challenge.

Stunning - that stamp is fabulous, I'm not surprised you wanted to use it and your colouring is superb. Love the design but I couldn't possibly choose a favourite as I love them all. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. It is such a delicate stamp, and so realistic. You get the impression that if you touched the petals the poppy would fall apart, just like they do in the garden.
