I die cut the poppy from white card and coloured it with red and green Promarkers, colouring on both sides of the card several times to give a good depth of colour. I had already had a 'trial run' with a scrap of paper in my MISTI to line up the sentiment, so I placed the card blank into MISTI and stamped the sentiment a couple of times to get a lovely deep green. I then attached the poppy with Stick & Stay glue.
To make this card I used:
6" x 6" warm white hammer card blank
Memory Box 'Prim Poppy' die
Woodware 'Wheat' sentiment stamp
Versafine Olympia Green ink
Promarkers
I am entering the following challenges:
AAA Cards - Maximum White Space
Alphabet Challenge - P for Poppies
