Poppies


The passion for promarkers challenge this week (47) is to make a card depicting one of your favourite things. I love many flowers u especially poppies and brought this stamp from Stampin' Up back in April and this is the first time I have used it! I made two masks and stamped a line of poppies, marking off two at a time I stamped another in between until I was happy with the arrangement. Then coloured with Red, Berry and Poppy promarkers, the stalks and leaves were coloured with, Moss, Olive and Pear, the flower centres were coloured with Cool Greys 4 and 5. I decided to keep this one simple and mounted it onto black Bazzill card stock, then a white card I cut myself also from Bazzill. The 'bloom' stamp was from the same set as the poppy 'Bloomin' with Beauty'. I added a Making Memories red square gem brad and some fine organza ribbon.

I have failed to get a good photo of the poppies around and about this year, so I took advantage of the lovely images on google.
