Wild Poppies

Well our weather is so unpredictable isn't it?  After a weekend of torrential rain and blustery winds, summer has returned for a day with temperatures at 18 degrees and that shiny yellow thing up in the sky :-)  It's a pity I was at work today, but lovely to have the car window wound down on the way home!

This card reflects the good weather today with a display of poppies standing tall.  The background was also made using the smaller poppy stamp, versamark and mica powder.  I think it's very effective and especially on the black card.  This is another technique that I've wanted to try for ages and have now been able to tick it off my list and will definately be using this again.

Materials used:

Stamps - tall wild poppies and wild poppies

Coloured with promarkers

Sentiment - memories

Nestability - large deckled rectangle

Distress ink - antique linen

Versamark ink

Mica powder - pearls and pastels
