The largest image was then stamped in Orchid Oasis ink and the second smallest in Parakeet Party ink. The second largest snowflake was stamped in Parakeet Party ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut it using the Frosted Flurry Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. This was added to the panel on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped onto the ⅜” strip of Orchid Oasis card in Versamark ink. I used the embossing Buddy prior to stamping to reduce the static. I added the White Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. It was added on Mini Dimensionals, straddling the Parakeet Party snowflake.

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”

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.

The large image from the Simply Succulent stamp set was stamped in the upper left and lower right corners of the Fresh Freesia card base in Fresh Freesia ink.
