The stamps I used to design my card are from the Poppies and Daisies stamp set. This is another beautiful set that's part of Sheena's A Little Bit Sketchy collection from Crafter's Companion.
The images are stamped on Spectrum Noir Ultrasmooth Premium White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored with Spectrum Noir Markers.
I stamped the flowers again on another small piece of cardstock...colored & trimmed out a few of the pieces. I glued down the bottom edges on top of the flowers and let dry. Then I stuck a 3d foam dot under the upper portion to lift the piece up. Turned out just as I planned!
To give the flowers shimmer, I painted on some Sheer Shimmer Spritz - Sparkle. I LOVE THAT STUFF! And it's only a couple bucks for the bottle! I just squirt some on my craft mat and paint it on with a paint brush.
You might know this little trick already...but just in case someone out there doesn't...I'll share. I wanted a thin strip of red colored cardstock to layer on the side of my image panel. I wanted it to match the colors of my flowers...so I took a strip of white cardstock and colored with CR8 and OR2 to match the poppies. Spectrum Noir Markers blend beautiful and you can make any color you need! Clever...right?! This is a great way to use up some scrap pieces of cardstock that would probably end up in the trash.
I mounted the entire panel with 3d foam adhesive to a white card base that was embossed with the 6" x 6" Chevrons Embossalicious Embossing Folder. The final touch was orange sequins.
Clean, Simple, Classic. Ahhhh...floral goodness.
Spectrum Noir Markers: LV1, GB3, OR2, CR8, EB4, CG1, CG2, DG3, JG6
