INKspired Colour Combo Challenge 116 - Painted Poppies

Hello Everyone!  Welcome to my blog and the colour combo challenge created by Teneale Williams.

You may have hopped across from Katrina Healy.


What a beautiful colour combination, I just loved creating my card - Painted Poppies in Watercolour.




The Painted Poppies Stamp Set and Poppy Moments Dies are so versatile.  This is a simple card that could be used for any occasion. The colours in the challenge lent themselves perfectly, and so away I went in creating the poppy.  The poppy is made from layering the large solid poppy die and three of the smaller solid poppy die cuts on dimensionals. I used the centre only of the large outline die, and the two flower centres layered on each other.  The picture below gives a better visual of the layering 
and watercoloring.


I should say that I also used the Old World Paper Embossing Folder on the white background. It actually gives a real delicate look. The Mossy Meadow Leaves are layered with Vellum to add to the delicacy without taking away from the Rich Razzleberry Poppy!




The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set, however I think anything goes with this card! 
I also used some Mossy Meadow and Whisper White twine encircled lightly as background to 
the Poppy.

Pop on a few Clear Epoxy Droplets and tada - there you go!

I also want to thank Nina Waldschmidt (Artisan Stampin' Up Design Team - 2020) for inspiring the watercolour technique to the Painted Poppies Die set.


Thank you for visiting my Blog, and now hop on over to Narelle Macey.
