In a year of remembrance and commemoration it's obvious why this stamp by Chocolate Baroque from their Flora and Fauna themeplate has been on my mind. So in memory of those who paid with their lives while fighting for their country I have made this card.The image was stamped in black Stazon, coloured with Prismacolor pencils and a little black glitter used in the middle of the flower on the stamens. The background was made using the same stamp and Satlin Red Versafine ink which I stamped off onto scrap before stamping the second generation image on my card. There was going to be a bow, or some gems or something, but no matter how I tried fiddling around with possible embellishments nothing seemed to really add anything to the card.
This is a gorgeous poppy card, I don't think it needs anything else. I couldn't resist this stamp when it first came out and you have coloured it so beautifully too. Alexandra.

A beautifil card Phree. I have that stamp and it hasn't had an outing for a few years now - about time it did. I love the soft and subtle background made with the same stamp and I don't think this card needs anything else. I lovely just as it is.
