Love is in the air...


Poppies are my favourites for a number of reasons, probably more so since we were married on ANZAC day, our youngest is a Remembrance Day baby, and who could forget walking through the fields of redheads in Italy!  But I digress LOL!  For me, poppies are the perfect flower for a love card ;)

Inspired by the gorgeous Tuesday Trigger "Plate of Pretty Poppies", Moxie Fab Stamp It! Cards Week The Love Card Challenge, CAS-ual Fridays Text Me Challenge and Do You Stack Up Red Challenge.

After getting all inky yesterday making this Tuesday Trigger Poppy card, I had a left over poppy which was crying out to be made into a card lol! The poppy had been created by using watercolour paper and stamping Stamp-It poppies in VersamarkDazzle Ink, sprinkled with American Crafts Zing Metallic Pewter embossing powder, and heat set.  I liberally swiped over the poppy with Distress Ink Barn Door and Shabby Shutters for the stems, then let loose with Glimmermist Gold, til the ink pooled. Once this was completely dry, I used Dimensional Magic to create a gloss finish over the image.  After fussy cutting the poppy, I stamped my text stamp (from my stash - not sure which brand) in StazOn Black ink, and over-stamped the Heidi Swapp "Love stamp using The Essential Glue Pad, before sprinkling with ultra fine red glitter. The poppies are pop-dotted, as is the grey cardstock mat.




Come join in the fun!
