Poppies (PDCC #35)

This card is for Play Date Cafe Colour Challenge #35. I loved the inspiration photo and it made me think both of rusted metal and of wood, so I adhered a piece of metallic tape to cardstock and embossed it in my new Tim Holtz wood grain folder. Then I painted the piece turquoise, dry brushed it with brown paint and then sanded it a bit to reveal the metal. I stamped the poppy on a piece of watercolour paper which had been coloured with distress ink and perfect pearl glimmer mist. The poppies were coloured with coloured pencils. I die cut the grungepaper swirl and sprayed it with homemade glimmer mist. The flowers were also glimmer misted. The circle is a cut from a background stamp (Ancient Motif). TFL!!

 

Supplies: Hero Arts stamps: Long Stem Flowers (H5350), Ancient Motif (CG186), Sew Stylish (CL452); Sizzex Tim Holtz woodgrain embossing folder and swirl die cut; grungepaper; aluminium tape; Prima flowers; ric rac; Tim Holtz mini staples; brad.
