Sweet Sorbet card – 4¼” by 2”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 2”
Basic White card – 1½” by 1”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

I stamped the largest flower in Evening Evergreen ink onto the Evening Evergreen card base.

Field of Poppies for the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where our theme is ‘In Memoriam’. My son is in the British Army and Remembrance Sunday is very important to us a family and  I have chosen to make a field of poppies themed sympathy card.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the field of poppies card, you will need:

Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Poppy Parade card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2
Poppy Parade card – 2¼” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 2¼” by 2¼”

 

Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the group of poppies, twice across one of the Basic White panels.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Painted Poppies stamp set used to make a pretty card for the Stamping Dreams ‘In Memoriam’ Blog Hop

I used a Post It note to mask off the ½” strip where the poppy stems were stamped. I used a Blending Brush to apply Granny Apple Green ink between to strips of Post Of Note. The sticky strips were then moved up and Petal Pink ink was brushed on over the poppy flowers. Finally, I masked off a ½” strip above the flowers and coloured this in with Pool Party and a Blending Brush.

I wrapped a length of Black Baker’s Twine around the stamped panel securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same liquid glue to add the panel to the Petal Pink card base.
