Today, I have a sunny, Happy Mother’s Day card using some beautiful, water color like poppies. This set comes in 2 parts-the outline & the solid fill, to allow you to get a water color look without the mess. And the new Dot Dash Arch die is well, to die for!
For the Inspiration Challenge IC1010, we are visiting Bon Ton Goods & their Pinterest Board, where I was inspired by THIS vase of flowers.
To make my card, I stamped the outline part of the poppies w/ black, using a water proof ink. Then inked the solid inside part of the image. Yellow was used first, over the entire insert. Then I added the 2 pinks, 1 at a time over the lower or inside edges only. I repeated the yellow, this time spritzing the inked stamp w/ a little water before stamping it again. This allowed the colors to blend w/o soaking the paper. The poppies were die cut & popped up 1 more layer. The dot dash arch was cut out of a solid dk orange & the inside white arch was cut using the stacked arches die set. I used this set for the pale greenish-gray layer behind the orange, too. The bottoms of these two were trimmed off to fit. The greeting was stamped & die cut w/ its coordinating die along w/ two orange pieces to form a shadow on top & bottom. A pretty printed paper from the Welcome Spring pad was used behind the arches.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
