It's time for another Dynamic Duos challenge and this week we're playing with this lovely combo:
I thought this was the perfect opportunity to use the gorgeous Pleasant Poppies stamp, and very appropriate for Rememberance Day tomorrow...
I stamped the poppies on First Edition dsp in Versamark and embossed with black EP, punching out with a 2 1/2" circle punch. I stamped them again on watercolour card, embossed and cut out with my paper snips, colouring them with an aquabrush and ink. I popped the cut-out flowers over the circular image with dimensionals. The background is Sahara Sand card embossed with the Fancy Fan embossing folder and layered with a panel of Basic Grey (I love how with Dynamic Duos you have the option of adding a variety of neutrals to the colour duo!). The sentiment is from Curly Cute, stamped in Cherry Cobbler on Very Vanilla. I cut out a butterfly from a piece of first Edition dsp and added some pearls and some black taffeta ribbon to finish. I used this week's Freshly Made Sketch for my layout...
Make sure you stop by the Dynamic Duos challenge to check out what the other designers have created to inspire you!
Thanks for stopping by...

ReplyDeleteAmy - this is absolutely stunning! I really like the colored popped up poppies (say that 5 times real fast!!!) against the newsprint. The doily adds the perfect background.
