Primrose Poppies...

Hiya,

It's time for another Dynamic Duos challenge and this week we have a fun challenge where you get to add your own spin!


I decided to use Always Artichoke as my additional colour because I wanted to use a flower stamp and needed a green to go with the pink...


The poppies were stamped on watercolour paper with black craft ink and embossed with clear EP then coloured with ink and an aquabrush. I used the ovals framelits to cut the image and the layer (with Crumb Cake card, embossed with the square lattice folder). I layered the image over two hearts cut from the More Amore speciality dsp that I overlapped in the middle - I discovered they make quite a pretty and unusual shape around the ovals! The dsp I used is also from More Amore and I added some Always Artichoke seam binding ribbon in a double bow to finish.

I used the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments for my layout...


Make sure you check out the lovely creations by the rest of the Dynamic Duos DT...

Thanks for stopping by!
