Poppy

 

Good morning!  

My inspiration for the new challenge at                                                Try A Sketch On Tuesday   The challenge runs from August18-30th.

I used two poppy dies that have been in my stash for many years, and I haven't used them in a long time. The Large Iceland poppy is a layered die from poppystamps.com circa 2015, and I used the stem from Memory Box's Darling Poppies circa 2014 :-)  I popped up the bloom for added dimension. 

Papers from my black and white stash bag. Sentiment from Gina K Designs Elegant Thoughts, and another inside from All About You.



AND please check out our sister challenge at Double Trouble. I followed their 3-2-1 challenge and did some layering and popped up element, too.  

Hope to see you linked up!

Stripes

 Inspired by Can You Handle the Pressure challenge "Stars and/or Stripes"

My card used the debossed side of an embossed panel from Spellbinder's Cottage Wall 3-D folder. I ink blended in the debossed wells of the flower and leaves, then lightly rubbed Outdoor Denim ink over all.  The sentiment is from Gina K Designs stamp and die set Spring Things stamped in the denim ink. Embellishments are Fresh Sprout from Trinity Stamps.
