Cards, My Favorite Things

Poppy Blooms

Hi Angels!

Thought I would pop in & post this beautiful card I designed today. I am featuring a favorite stamp company each week in September & this week it’s My Favorite Things stamps. Plus this is the final week of my 100 day Wild & Wonderful Summer posting. Today makes day 94.

I decided I wanted to play & create an over the top card today. I think this beauty fits the bill. Let’s see how I created it…….

I gold embossed MFT Etched Flower background on watercolor paper, then pulled out the MFT custom Colorbursts in Jellybean Green & Tropical Teal & had fun watercoloring. When you are playing, don’t forget to mop up the overflow, that’s how I did the shadow cut for the Beautiful Die-namics die cut.

For the MFT Poppy Blooms & coordinating dies, I used Distress Oxides in Squeezed Lemonade, Ripe Persimmon & Abandoned Coral & color blended them onto some white cardstock. I gold embossed the flowers on the ombre background. Pro Tip – make sure your Distress Oxides are dry before heat embossing.

I picked up a sampler pack of MFT cardstock & pulled out my sheet of Coral Crush to make my card base. Pictures can be difficult with so much shiny but I think this is a fair representation of the rich colors in the card.

Stay tuned here or over on my Facebook page for more inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to create this week.
