Striped Poppy ~ CCMC417


Happy Thursday stampers!  It's Create with Connie and Mary challenge day!  This week is sketch week and look at this dandy!  It was a little perplexing to me at first.  My interpretation is looser this week.  I pretty much just went with the stripe theme.....and my stripes are running the opposite direction too.  I'm happy with my end result though!


I used a new set called {Penned and Painted}.  I think this will be a really cool set to do lots of experimenting with.  I can see all kinds of techniques used with this set.  

For this card I stamped the images twice, fussy cut them all out and layered them together, curling up the edges of the top layer.  I was trying to make the flower resemble a poppy.
The stripes are stamped with the big background stamp called {Brushstrokes}.  Very cool.  I like how both of the stamps look watercolored although I  assure you there was none of that this go around.


I even had to find a way to include the little ladybug from the set...it's simply adorable!!!


I hope you'll find time to join us over at CCMC and participate in this interesting sketch challenge!
Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
Jenny

  5. You had me fooled - I was thinking..."another gorgeous watercolor by Jenny, how does she do it?" Then I read about Penned and Painted and got excited that maybe even I could do this! Great card!

  6. This is just lovely Jenny - the fussy cutting on your flower definitely makes it feel like a poppy. Love the dramatic striped background too and as for the ladybird - super sweet!
