I have a card today using Chocolate Baroque's beautiful new Poppy Meadow stamp set.
I applied Tattered Rose & Seedless Preserves Distress Inks to the background using the Acrylic Block technique (add ink to an Acrylic block, spritz with water and rub onto your sheet). I stamped the Poppy Seed heads with Seedless Preserves but spritzed the stamp with water first (after inking), so it created a watery effect. I highlighted a little with a white Prisma pencil.
The main image was stamped with Cocoa Memento Dye ink, cut with Spellbinder S4-347 and coloured with my Prisma pencils. I realized when I took a photo that the Poppy bud should be green to be more realistic, I coloured it like a Rose bud :) Happy Birthday is from Birthday words.
Here is a look at the new Poppy Meadow set which is on an introductory special this month along with Fancy Flowers.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day !

Stunning Shirley, I love the colours you've used on this card and the effect you've got with the background. Such a pretty coloured ribbon too, it suits the colours so well.

Beautiful card Shirley, the poppy image is gorgeous in that amazing background, such luscious colours :) Cathy x
The background is magical with the glow & I love the way your edging of the image panel ties in with the card base. The wonder for me is your use of green so selectively & beautifully.
