I used the following Blends Markers to colour in the image – Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Smoky Slate. The coloured image was then added over the stamped image on the card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Pretty painted poppies CASE’d card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

The Basic White panel was run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Macrame Embossing Folder. This folder is rapidly becoming my current favourite. I added the embossed layer to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Pale Papaya card and die cut using the smaller label from the Painted Label dies. I felt the larger label used on the original card was too big. The label was added to the card front with the liquid glue.

The flowers and leaves were then added with liquid glue or Dimensionals around the label.
