Happy Tuesday! I had a final autumn themed card ready to share today… and then I decided at the last minute I needed to create a poppies card for Remembrance Day!
I’ve used the Delicate Pretty Poppies by MFT again, this time I went with a Distress Watercolor painting on watercolor paper. It bled a lot, but I was looking for a loose painted look… I stamped my images in Distress Ink (Festive Berries & Mowed Lawn) and painted in the color with the same ink and a water brush. Once it was dry, I stamped it again in a slightly darker color to reinforce the lines of the images.
I added some splatter on the background by rubbing ink on a damp toothbrush and flicking it. A bit of stickles finishes off the flowers… and a small story stick (by Tim Holtz) tied to some crinkle ribbon to add texture.
It’s pretty simple… but I like it. I planned to add a sentiment, but decided to include one inside instead.
Inky hugs,
Tara
