This week at Global Design Project, we are casing Manuela Geiswinkler, and I used one of my favorite sets, Painted Poppies, with her layout and colors.
Painted Poppies
Here is Manuela’s card, using the Snailed It Bundle. I love how the snail is in the vellum envelope! Check out the other projects, then join us in casing Manuela!
I began with a Thick Basic White card base (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″), topped with angled, Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Paper (3 3/4″ X 5″) in Night Of Navy.
The Basic White Cardstock, angled on top ( 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″) was embossed with the Subtle Textured Embossing Folder. This embossing folder is retiring the end of May, so get it now while it’s still available.
Next, I stamped the flowers from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set in Night Of Navy Ink on Basic White Cardstock. I colored them with Petal Pink ink and a “splotch” stamp in the set, and they were easily cut with Painted Labels Dies. You can see the two dies in the first picture, and in my Product List below.
Then, I cut the leaves from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock with two Poppy Moments Dies. The smaller flower and leaves were glued flat, and the larger flower was attached with Dimensionals.
“Hey, friend” is from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set, stamped in Night Of Navy Ink, and cut with the smallest Stitched So Sweetly Die. I attached the sentiment with Dimensionals, added three Pearl Basic Jewels, and my project was complete.

Product List
I love this I wouldn’t have thought to use Night of Navy for the poppy outline stamp and Petal Pink for the filler/splotch stamp. I am going to case thos.
Thank you Cyndi, it was Manuela’s color combo that made me think about it.
I’m confused. You said you stamped the flowers in Night of Navy and colored them with Petal Pink. So you did not use the two dies to make one flower?
Hi Doris, I’m not sure I understand your question, but I used the two dies to make separate flowers.
