Hello crafty friends and visitors, did you have a bad storm where you are in UK yesterday!
Hail stones size of golf balls, thought our windows where going to cave in..Never seen rain like that for a long time, with thunder & lighting..
Hope you are all safe and no flash flooding..
One of my favourite flowers are POPPIES ..
What a beautiful unusual design these are by "Alexandra Renke" from Oysterstamps they cut like butter..lol.
Three design poppy dies in the packet, they all look just as pretty on their own or grouped together.
Love the effect of crepe paper for poppies, makes them so life like..
I have used lemon as I wanted to make this colour poppies as I always seen to go with red!
I have also used my Distress Oxide Inks, time I had a proper play, colours on flowers used.. Spiced Marmalade..& Fossilized Amber.
Shading on the background Peeled Paint, this I dropped water drops from my hand, love the soft effect.. "I believe In You"also Spiced Marmalade..& Fossilized Amber. inked then die cut.
I have raised my crepe paper petals only! blob of hot glue..you could just leave them flat and would look just as lovely,..
I have used a strong dark green card for the foliage as I though it needed a contrast.
Spellbinder "Art Deco" Astoria Decorative Elements for my background and this placed onto Creative Expression. Noble Pinpoint Rectangle, I had to reduce the width..
Few Nova Jewell Drop`s around the foliage and liquid pearls in green.
