Poppies

The new challenge at Make My Monday is here. Just in time for Remembrance Day we would like to see poppies on your makes.

I have used a Penny Black stamp and clear embossed it. The flowers are coloured with H2Os which has given them a bit of a sheen. A narrow strip of black and white striped paper down the side added a bit of extra interest. Do make sure to check out all the inspiration on the challenge blog.

Less is More- One layer and a frame!

The challenge at Less is More this week is to make a one layer card that has to include a frame! After much thought I came up with this. I used another of the Kanban stamps from the recent QVC TSV stamped it with Memento black then coloured it with copics. I used YG23, R85,R20,R46 and R59. I enhanced the frame with a fine black liner. The sentiment was another Kanban stamp and I drew the frame round it by marking with dots where I wanted the corners then joined them with a wiggly line! I also added a bit of colour to the background of the image by dabbing DI Tattered Rose on with a make up sponge.
