Happy Wednesday, friends. I want to share this card with you ... which I sheepishly admit is a few days late.The hours and days move too quickly ... I just can't keep up! Before we hit the weekend, let me just get this card out for ya!I'm playing with Chocolate Baroque's new October release A4 stamp sheet called Autumn Poppy. And it's available now at a very special price.
This is a simple card. No fancy tools needed - blendable inks and alcohol markers and you're pretty much done.
Moving away from the darker autumn colours, this time I'm opting for the brighter tones for the background by blending Distress Inks in Wild Honey, Mustard Seeds and a touch of Spiced Marmalade. The greeting is from Pretty Poppies stamped with Versafine Black Onyx.
I cut two slits the width of the ribbon, threaded it through and tied a bow around the bouquet.
Poppies: 5210, 5220, 5245
Greens: 8130, 8150, 8160, 8180
Butterflies: 7125,7140, 7155
Then I randomly dotted some Daffodil Liquid Pearls around the flowers.
Inside, I stamped a floral image from the Autumn Poppy stamp sheet, in TH Mustard Seed Distress Ink.
Now for some challenges:
There! That should do it! LOL. Hope you're having a beautiful Wednesday. It's chucking it down big time over here. Thanks for stopping by... or should I say Merci ? :) Catch up with y'all in blogland, friends. Stay dry!
Beijinhos!
OH wow this is just so beautifully coloured and the bow is the perfect finishing touch.
