It's time for a new sketch over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge. I spent a lot of time on this one. I searched in my "tag" section of my Scraprack. I found this great pocket with tag and the project grew from there. I searched my inventory in Evernote and found that I had a poppy stamp and die set. I had the striped paper scrap lying around from my recent Dreaming Tree project. Creating the flowers, background and sentiment were the hard parts.
Here is the sketch:
I began by stamping and embossing the flowers on good card stock. I think used three distress inks to add color to the flowers. I wish I had better matched the reds, I thought Fired Brick would do it but it came out brighter than I expected.
Each flower is four stamped, embossed and inked pieces excluding leaves. I shaped the flowers with my fingers. I stamped the sentiment in the same ink as the inside of the flowers aMuse French Roast pigment ink.
I stamped the poppy buds with Colorbox Pistachio and embossed with clear powder as I did all the images. I didn't want the buds to overpower the flower cluster so I picked a green that more closely matched the green in the paper versus the green in the leaves. I masked in a few places as the bud and the stem were separate stamps. All the stamps used came from the same set.
I loved how this tag has a neat envelope.

Quick Quotes Spring Showers papers
Sheena (Crafter's Companion) Poppy Victorian Floral stamps and dies (several years old)
Colorbox Pistachio pigment ink
a Muse French Roast pigment ink
