I hope you are all well and had a good weekend? I did make a visit to a new coffee shop on Saturday and it was enjoyable. We have sun today but hubby tells me it's not warm enough for me to sit in the garden, I'm a greenhouse plant!
Onto today's card with a little watercolouring
I stamped the two poppies onto watercolour card using a Distress Ink in 'antique linen'. I coloured the stems and leaves with 'peeled paint' (DI) then the poppies with 'candied apple' (DI). I then used a very fine black sharpie and drew the lines on each poppy
The sentiment comes with the same Woodware stamp set - Poppy. This was stamped and embossed with WOW Clear Embossing Powder
I haven't used splatters for a while so I diluted 'black soot' (DI) onto my glass mat and enjoyed myself splattering until I hit the brush too hard and created a think black line.... hence the 3 black NUVO drops to cover the line. Isn't that annoying when you've nearly, or even finished, your design and bang you do something silly to spoil it?!
I added the watercolour colour card onto red cardstock then added it to the black base card to tie in the colour combo
Until tomorrow....

Love Poppies! Such a simple card - but so effective! Just need to be a proficient colourer!! Thanks June!

ReplyDeleteLovely card June. Hurrah I am back to Littlelamb so should be able to leave this comment today.
ReplyDeleteThanks June for sharing another good idea. Love your coloured poppies and commiserate with you over the excessive splattering - I have done the same on more than one occasion!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice card, love the poppies only wish I could get the colouring as good as yours June
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous creation June. Like many of the other comments - the ability to colour properly, as you do, makes all the difference.xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely card, June, poppies are perfect for Thinking of You cards. No chance of sitting outside here, too cold, windy and rainy. xx
