Precious Poppies and a Sketch

Hello, everyone in Blogger Land!  When I saw the sketch on Splitcoaststampers this morning, I thought I would play along.  Ally's sketch was perfect for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps' Precious Poppies clear stamp set!

Creative Nugget:  I thought it would be fun to have each layer grow in color intensity so the large Poppy image from the set was stamped on the card after stamping off once.  The only color on this layer is clear Wink of Stella.  After masking off an area for the sentiment, the medium poppy image was stamped several times full strength on the second layer.  Gray Copic Markers and Wink of Stella were used to color this layer.  Finally, the large poppy image was stamped and fully colored with Copic Markers and Wink of Stella.  The card really shimmers in real life, but does not show up well in the photo. Some black micro beads and a seam binding bow were added to finish the card!

That's all for today…hope you were inspired by your visit!

Hugs,
