Hi, I've used this poppy die from Memory Box a few times, but mainly for sympathy cards.
This time I separated the flowers and put the bud on the other side to create a bouquet.
I cut the flower tops from snippets of watercolor paper and coloured them with Inktense pencils. I'm still getting used to using them so my blending and shading needs a bit more work. I'm going to visit the playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop, I hear there's going to be some fireworks, I hope I'm not too late!
I'm also entering Addicted to CAS the code word is die cuts.
Materials used: Tulip border embossing folder; Memory Box Prim Poppies and Primo Label dies; Inktense pencils; ribbon & sentiment sticker from stash.
Thanks for visiting :)
I love the tulip embossing folder and your colouring with the pencils is excellent. A beautiful CAS card. There wos fireworks being let off outside earlier tonight but honest injun it wosn't me! Hugs Mrs A.

ReplyDeleteI've been noticing that embossed frame around a lot these days. It might be because I think I need it! Great simple and sweet card.
ReplyDeleteCathy, I think your beautiful poppies are super - your blending looks fab to me. Love the SU EF too. You've created a stunning frame for these bright poppies. I missed the fireworks too. Did they have bbq too? TFS & Hugs.
