Hello there stampers! I hope you are all doing well and not to tired of social distancing! I live a pretty rural part of the country and while parts of our lives have changed, much remains the same. I work for the postal system, so I am working through this all, which I don't mind at all. Anyway, I hope you all are well and untouched by this virus!
Today's card is for Create with Connie and Mary's new color challenge. Bright and cheerful is what I say about these colors! Poppy Parade is such a fun color. I must admit that when it first came out I really didn't think I'd like it, but then again that happens to me with a lot of colors that I don't think I like at first. I'm thankful for these kinds of challenges because it forces me to play with colors and accessories I might not usually go towards.
I also used the theme from As You See It #222 and the sketch from Sunday Stamps #228 to help me along with my design team card.
I started by stamping the flowers from To A Wild Rose with Stazon Ink on watercolor paper. I then water-colored the images with my aqua painter and pads. They were die cut with the coordinating die cuts, but I did go back in to trim them up with my scissors a bit because sometimes I don't like the white edges showing. I added some of the script Poppy Parade DSP for the background, and then added some gold thread and a gold faceted gem for my something shiny and ribbon or trim. I couldn't decided on a sentiment, so I just left it off.
Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
Jenny
