The toppings for this challenge Spring Fling!
Lindsey has challenged us to make Spring cards. For me that means flowers.
But if you are not a toppings kind of person, Just make it a birthday card and that will work too!
Here is my card for your inspiration.
Can you feel the spring on this card? I just love poppies and this was my go-to stamp for this challenge. Spring flowers are so much fun to color and make cards. I used the newer stamp from Gina K Designs called Vertical greetings and things. Not only does it have poppies but fun vertical greetings that can be used on many cards. I started with watercolor paper and my Arteza Real Brush pens in Cantlope, Apricot, and Orange. To define the flower petals I used a Prismacolor pencil in Vermillion. For the foliage, the colors are Pea Green and Crockadile Green.
Next, I die cut the panel with Simon Says Die called Postage Stamp Edge die. That was layered in Sage green and a base of Asparagus from Gina K Designs.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful poppies. I love the CAS design. I know what you mean about the background that never works for me. I am always amazed when I see people make a card and splatter afterword.

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love poppies. We used to have some beside the back door. When we built the porch, we had to move them and they never came back. Hope you are all well.
ReplyDeleteSO PRETTY! Love your no line coloring
ReplyDeleteBeautifully colored, Barbara! I love orange and yellow poppies more than red ones! The vertical sentiment is great!
