Ornate Poppy

Posted on May 29, 2020May 21, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Here is a sweet Ornate Poppy card I made to celebrate the wedding anniversary of my friends Lyndsay and Richard. Lyndsay should recognise the poppy as I made a number of them when I was last with her. They were inspired by a lovely card made by Su Mohr which I found on Pinterest.

To recreate the Ornate Poppy card you will need:

Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Early Espresso – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Early Espresso – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap Whisper White, Early Espresso & Mossy Meadow

I ran the smaller Early Espresso layer through the Big Shot inside the Ornate Floral Embossing Powder. This folder is gorgeous and gives so much texture to the card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -An annivesary card made using the painted poppies bundle and the ornate floral embossing folder

I wrapped a piece of the Petal Pink Organdie Stripped Ribbon around the embossed panel and adhered it on the back with Sellotape. This panel was glued to the Petal Pink card base using Snail Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -An annivesary card made using the painted poppies bundle and the ornate floral embossing folder

I took the ‘smudge’ stamp, from the Painted Poppies stamp set inked it up with Flirty Flamingo ink and stamped it randomly a scrap piece of Whisper White. This step was repeated using So Saffron ink and Petal Pink ink until the whole layer was covered in ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -An annivesary card made using the painted poppies bundle and the ornate floral embossing folder

Using the Poppy Moments dies I die cut the detailed flower from the stamped panel. I die cut the same image and the full blank flower from Whisper White card stock. I mounted the patterned die cut flower outline onto the White flower blank with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and carefully fitted in the white die cut pieces. Doesn’t the flower look fab……..I love bit of paper piecing. I die cut a flower centre from scrap Early Espresso card and added it to the centre of the flower using the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -An annivesary card made using the painted poppies bundle and the ornate floral embossing folder

I punched a leaf from scrap Mossy Meadow card using the Leaf Punch – so sad this is retiring, and added it to the back of the poppy using Snail Adhesive. The poppy was added over the ribbon on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set, another set I will miss, was stamped using Early Espresso ink, die cut using one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I added it to the card front with Snail Adhesive. To complete the card I added a scattering of Iridescent Sequins, yet another thing I will really miss…..

I hope Lyndsay and Richard like the card.
