Here, I've stamped the poppies on the coordinating die-cuts in Electric Red ink on the new Smooth White Card Stock. The Smooth White Card Stock is perfect for stamping solid stamps. It's very smooth and allows for a super smooth and crisp image.
The background words were masked off (to fit inside the stitching) and stamped in Electric Red ink. The stems and leaves were stamped in Gumdrop Green ink. I stamped the sentiment on the smallest of Fishtail Flag Layers STAX.
I went polar opposite for my second card and got "down and dirty". I used a variety of techniques and supplies to create this effect.
All the edges were sponged using Kraft ink. It is my FAVORITE ink for sponging!
I created realistic "dew" on my flower using Goosebumps spray (I also sprayed it all over my card). The flower head is the die-cut from Poppies and Leaves cut from Black Licorice Card Stock. The stem is from the new Flower Box Die-namics.
The background script stamp is just GORGEOUS.
Here is one more look. :)
