This card was CASEd from one made by Jennifer McGuire. I have wanted this poppy stamp and die set for ages and recently, a wonderful friend of mine sent me the stamp. What better time to use it?
The poppies, leaves and branches were stamped using various colours. I didn't realize that the poppies have FIVE layering stamps in addition to three more stamps for the centre of the flower. I had to change the inks I was using midway as I didn't have enough shades in the colours I had selected. The depth that the various inks provide is quite remarkable.
The stems and flowers were arranged directly on the card front and adhered. A sentiment was embossed on black cardstock and adhered near the bottom. A strip of gold glitter paper was placed underneath the sentiment. The last step was to add some Platinum Stickles to the centres of the flowers.
Enjoy,
Alyson

Beautiful card, Alyson! The depth you created with your stamping is amazing. I love the look, but get nervous about lining things up with multiple steps.
