Popping poppies
Posted: April 28, 2009 Filed under: Poppy Patch 7 Comments
Ever since I got this beautiful poppy set I have been planning to stamp it in a single colour. Red seemed an obvious choice. I arranged my poppies across the white rectangle and then matted them but felt that I wanted something more, but only a little something. I decided to emboss the poppies on the background white in white embossing powder, a technique I saw on this beautiful card made by Jak Heath. I’m afraid I have not been able to capture the effect very well with my camera, but trust me, there are white poppies embossed at the top and bottom of the card! I added a bit of that sweet gingham ribbon and that was it, a simpler and faster treatment for the poppy patch stamps.
Thanks for dropping in.
Supplies:
Stamps: Poppy Patch (Flourishes)
Inks: Real Red, Versamark

The red and white is striking, but clean and cheerful. I like this look for the poppies. I always love white on white embossing, too. And that gingham ribbon — perfect. I just love the whole package!
