I recently bought this preloved stamp in a charity shop - poppies are my favourite flower so it's perfect for the current Less is More challenge.
I put the card blank into my MISTI and placed the poppy stamp on top so I could decide on the sentiment to use (whoever had donated the stamp to the charity shop had cut the sentiments from the stamp set and just left the poppies!). I decided to use a simple 'Just for You' which I felt was the right size for the card. I then stamped the poppy and sentiment with dark brown ink. I coloured the poppy with coloured pencils using two shades of red for the poppy, yellow for the flower centre and dark green for the stem and leaves.
To make this card I used:
5" x 5" white card blank
Woodware 'Poppy' and Clearly Besotted 'Fancy Sayings' clear stamps
Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
Faber Castell Colour Grip pencils
I am entering the following challenges:
Less is More - One Layer - Favourite Flower
Love to Craft - Anything Goes

Love the size of the poppy stamp and your colouring,your choice of sentiment makes the card suitable for several different occasions
So bright and pretty Kath and the sentiment is perfect! What a great find in the charity shop. x
Lovely card. As you know I like purple poppies.
Likewise with Poppies Kath and this card is so very elegant, white space terrifies me but you nailed it. Thanks so much for joining us at We Love Stamping this month.
