Painted Poppies was the theme of the Stampin’ Up! Convention last week, and I was lucky enough to come home with the stamp set!  I ordered the coordinating dies, but until they arrive, I will use my Paper Snips for fussy cutting.

I began by stamping the outline of two flowers in Memento Black Ink on Whisper White Cardstock. And, guess what color I used to fill in the outline ………Poppy Parade! Perfect, huh? This was really simple, because there is a stamp in the set that does this in one, easy motion. There’s also a “splash” stamp, which I used on top of the flowers. Can you see it?

My poppies are on a “platform” made of Mossy Meadow Cardstock and Whisper White Cardstock, raised on Foam Adhesive Strips. I stamped a single leaf, randomly, from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set in Memento Black Ink, and colored with Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. Then, I stamped, colored, and fussy cut two leaves, which I glued to the poppies. 

Before gluing the “platform” together, I stamped “Thank You” in Memento Black Ink. This font is fantastic, isn’t it? It’s from the new Peaceful Moments Stamp Set that was specifically made to coordinate with Painted Poppies. It also comes with dies, and, yes, I ordered the dies also.

The background is Whisper White Cardstock, with randomly stamped leaves in Memento Black Ink, and placed on a Mossy Meadow card base.

My layout for today’s design is from Freshly Made Sketches.
