Hi Stampers (and those that love poppies). Do you ever look at your card and think – “It needs a little something, but what?”. That happened to me recently. I made the top card and it’s pretty, but seemed to be lacking “a little something”.
This card started with a Gorgeous Grape card base and then I added a layer of the GORGEOUS Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. It’s so pretty that I left a wide border before adding the layers cut with the Rectangle Stitched Dies out of Gorgeous Grape & Whisper White CS.
The beautiful poppy on the card front was made using Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green and Basic Black CS and the Poppy Moments Dies. While the layers are glued together with liquid glue (as well as one of the leaves) the flower and second leaf are attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Here is my second – “stepped up” version of the card. While a lot of the card is the same, I added the second (smaller poppy) and the second layer of the leaves (Old Olive & Mossy Meadow CS).
I also added the “splotches” (from the Painted Poppies stamp set) in the background on the Whisper White layer in Highland Heather ink.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink and added a strip of the same DSP from the front of the card, as an accent.
