Red poppies with teal background

This is another version of my earlier card (poppies with dark blue background). I hope you like this one too!

The stamp set is called Poppies and this is a background stamp of the MFT (My Favorite Things).

If you want to see how I made it, please hop on my earlier blogpost. The only difference is that here I used other Copic colours for the background. The teal background is made with BG18, BG09 and BG72.

Thank you for stopping by!!!

Red poppies with dark blue background

After my gold embossed poppy card, I wanted to make a more traditional one where the poppies are coloured to red. I wanted to create a background which enhances the beauty of the poppies and I also wanted to make it elegant. So I created this:

And here is my tutorial:

I stamped the image onto a Neenah Solar White paper (110lb) with Versamark ink, then I heat embossed with Ranger Princess Gold embossing powder. I so loved this stamp, so I decided to keep the whole image, I just didn't want to cut off any part of it. This is why I didn't use any MFT STAX die, I just trimmed off the white areas with a guillotine.

Then I started to colour the images with Copic Sketch markers. 

If you can't see in my picture what colours I used, I will tell you then. 

For the poppy flowers: R27, R24, R22, R11

For the middle of the poppy flowers: C6, E11, W3

For the stems: YG03, G24

For the fruit: E11, W3

For the background: B29, B26

Actually, the background wasn't that dark (the photo doesn't do it justice), so for more drama, I coloured some areas with Dark Indigo and Black Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils.

I also used my colourless Copic marker to remove the unwanted colours from the embossed contours.

After I sprayed my colouring with a fixative and I placed my card onto a red, then a gold panel. In the end, I glued it on a dark blue card base.

Oh, the sentiment! I stamped the text with Versamark onto a paper strip from the same cardstock I used for the card base. I heat embossed with Princess Gold, then cut out with one piece of the Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strips die set.

What I used:

MFT Poppies background stamp

MFT Essential Sentiments stamp set

MFT, Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strips die

Copic Sketch markers

Ranger Princess Gold embossing powder

Tsukineko, Versamark ink

Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils

Tombow Mono Permanent Adhesive

Foam adhesive tape

gold, red, blue cardstock

I have made this card for the MFT 2019 Card Design Superstar challenge. And with this card, I would like to join the Coloring Virtuoso category. 

I hope you like it!!! Happy crafting!!!

Card with gold embossed poppies

Hello everyone, here I am with a short blogpost. I've just finished a birthday card and I wanted to show you right away. This is for my mother-in-law who doesn't like the red colour and who celebrates her birthday in October.

I stamped the MFT Poppies background stamp onto a light blue cardstock using Versamark ink, then I heat embossed with Ranger Princess Gold embossing powder. Before the stamping, I rubbed my paper with an antistatic bag.

The text is also from MFT. I cut out the text, then I embossed with the same gold embossing powder, but I realized that it wasn't really popped out, so I cut out the text again from the same green cardstock I used for the base. 

I also placed a gold cardstock under the panel with the poppies. 

I added some sequins and that's it!

For glueing the text and the sequins, I used Ranger Multi Medium Matte.

With my card, I would like to join the:
