Over at The Stampman Callenge at the moment the theme is Poppies, and we are invited to send our cards to them to be sold in aid of a British Legion event being held in Skipton in a few months time. Here is the card I have made. The Poppy image and the quote are both Clarity Stamps that I have had for a long time but I still like them a lot. I stamped them in Versacolour Crimson on ivory card and added a little colour to the poppy with a water brush, and I think I used Barn Door and Forest Moss Distress Inks.I then cut them to size and edged them with a Krylon Gold pen. I cut the red panel to fit a A6 ivory card, leaving a small border and edged it also with the gold pen. I fixed the text piece flat onto the card and the poppy overlapping it on foam pads. I thought the lower right hand side of the card looked a bit bare so I stamped this Elusive Images swirl in the space with the crimson ink and added a red pearl. This one will be on it's way to Skipton shortly.
