Good morning all, I hope you are having a good week so far. Today is Jude's birthday, so we are off out for lunch later. I can't share one of her cards yet as she hasn't seen them lol, so today's card is one I made for my "step-daughter" last week, who shares a birthday with my son. It's very complicated lol.
I used the Pure Poppies stamps and dies from Clearly Besotted, it's such a gorgeous stamp set, and I teamed it with a sentiment stamp set from Altenew called Family Matters.
I used Altenew Crisp Dye Inks from the Red Sunset, and Green Fields groups for the poppies, layering the colours and masking as I went along. Then I added a few extra details with Copic Markers.
I then cut around the outer edge of my poppies and raised them on foam tape to a 7 x 5 card blank.
I used Jet Black Archival ink for the sentiment. I like Archival inks for stamping sentiments, as I think you always get a crisp image from them.
The card was still a little plain for me, so I added a couple of different width strips of black card to the top, to finish it off.
Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
