Today’s card features the Painted Poppies stamp set. I wanted to show you cards you can make using just the stamp set. This was a quick an easy card and used very few supplies: Stamp, Ink, Paper (and some ribbon- I just love ribbon).
I started with the card base and randomly stamped one of the poppy images using Poppy Parade ink to achieve a tone on tone effect for the card base. I then went to create the card front by stamping the larger poppy using Memento Tuxedo Black ink just slightly off center on one of the Whisper white pieces. I then stamped the stem in black as well but did not include the small flower that was part of that stamp. Using Poppy parade classic ink I stamped the background image stamp over the stamped poppy. I then took the smaller splotch image, inked it in Poppy Parade and stamped this over the large poppy flower and the poppy flower bud. Using Old Olive classic ink, I stamped the small splotch over the stem and leaf. Using the Sale-A-Bration Sending You Thoughts stamp set I added Happy Birthday. At that point I was ready to layer the front of the card. I centered the stamped whisper white piece on the basic black card stock. I then placed this just slightly to the left of the card base. To finish off the front, I add a bow using the whisper white crinkled seam binding.
To make the inside of the card, I used the field of poppies image and stamped a small portion on the lower left of the second piece of whisper white card stock. Using the small splotch image I added poppy parade ink and old olive ink. I stamped the “Another sensational year of you” sentiment from the Sale-A-Bration Sending You Thoughts stamp set. I adhered this to the inside of the card base.
