Poppies!

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! TGIF!

I will be SO glad when this week is over! I have TONS of stamping to do this weekend...here's hoping my little one gives her mom time to get some stamping done!!

Here is a card I created for this week's challenge on the There She Goes Blog, TSG90, Wet Embossing!! My embossing gun has actually been getting some use these days, so I was well prepared for this challenge!!

I pulled out the previously released Poppies set from There She Goes. So often I go for a "cutesy" look, which is my favorite, but for this card I wanted a more elegant feel.

I stamped the flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X Press It Blending Card and colored them with markers. The shadow around them was actually done with chalks. I am ALWAYS so inspired by the sweet Inge and how she does this, so I thought I would give it a shot too.

For the wet embossing, I stamped the poppies definition, also from Poppies, in Versamark onto the Orange Zest cardstock and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. SUPER easy and it adds such a nice touch...no?

I kept this one super simple, with an embossed background done with the Polka Dots Embossing Folder, and a fun polka dot ribbon. Of course, I had to fit some of Taylor's Tiny Twinkles into my design too! The layout is the sweet Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC100!
