Challenge #13 - Dies
This card is for my Mum's birthday in a couple of days time and I know she is going to love it. Mum has several poppy plants in her garden with the wonderful large poppies, so colourful and beautifully formed and great contrast to her roses :) :) :)
For this card I used Sheena Douglas Poppy Perfect Partners (stamp and die set) and coloured the poppies with Polychromos crayons. The background of this card has been created with Tim Holtz Distress Oxides which I have just got and have fallen in love with, so much fun to use. I then embossed the background with a Sheena Douglas embossing folder and then enhanced the embossing with gold guilders wax. The lace die is by Verity Rose, it looked so effective in the black on the front of the card I decided to use a remaining bit of the Distress Oxide background I made to back a second black lace cut and used this on the inside of the card too. The Happy Birthday and Best Mum stamps are from .Making Cards issue 6. To finish off the card I added a gold charm heart and red gems.

ReplyDeleteWell missus you've certainly got the approval of the maestro!!! He just brought me a cuppa (bless him) whilst I was commenting and saw your superb card and said "oooh that's nice - is it decoupaged?" He never ceases to amaze me 'cos he realised you'd layered the poppies - lol. It really is a striking card and of course your mum is definitely going to love it. The die cuts are great and I think I neeeeeed the lace edge die. Absolutely wonderful creation. Hugs to you Sue Pxxx
