POPPIES

I love flowers and poppies are among my favourite flowers.

I first stamped the friend definition on white cardstock, then I distress it with Distress Inks, I stamped the poppy stamp with versamark and applied clear embossing powder. I coloured the green stems and I stamped the flowers on Gina K Pure Luxury cardstock. I coloured the poppies with Copic markers.

Stamps: Friend definition, Poppy background (Hero arts)

Ink: Distress Ink (Stormy Sky, Broken China), Tuxedo Black (Memento)

Accessories: Copic markers, dimensional dots, clear embossing power, punch around the page (Martha Stewart), watermelon cardstock (Bazzil), embossing buddy, versamark.

August WMS blog hop

The Waltzingmouse Stamps blog hop theme is Vintage/Shabby Chic.

Apart for the sentiment (Hero Arts), all the stamps I used are from Waltzingmouse Stamps.

I distressed the background with Scattered Straw and Tea Dye Distress Inks.
The cardstock is from Gina K, the Swiss dots ribbon is from Papertrey (ripe avocado).

Daffodils

I combined Sweet Corn cardstock (Gina K) with Hawaiian Shores cardstock (Papertrey).
I like this color combo. The daffodils are from Papertrey, I didn't use its original leaves, I think the flowers looked better with the "In bloom" set leaves.
