Have loved this stamp like FOREVER, so last week when I saw it on Overstock decided to finally buy it. Sooooooo glad I did! It is the perfect size and is a dream to color. By the end of the day, I think I will have made about 4 or more of them with different variations. I have some friends who have anniversaries coming up this month, so started with that.
Stamped and colored my poppies with Copics:
R17, R24, R27, R39, R59, Y17, YR18.
The sentiment, from Penny Black, actually says "All you need is love and a dog." I cut the stamp apart to just use the first part for this card.
Cut a blank piece of 67 lb. white cardstock to go behind my focal image panel for some additional dimension. Layered to gold mat and then to black base. Completed by adding Wink of Stella to all the poppies and some glossy accents to the open poppy centers.
Inside, the sentiment is a simple "Happy Anniversary."
I love how this turned out - hope you do, too!

Beautiful and elegant Debbie. Your colouring is so perfect. Great shading of the flowers to give them so much visual dimension. Love the added glossy accents to the centers. The gold and black matting gives the card even more elegance. xx

Your poppies are so beautifully colored Debbie. I love your CAS design and framing. Your gold layer with your black really makes your card pop. TFS my friend.

The red poppies against the white background is just stunning - and the bright splash of gold framing them adds just the right amount of bling too. A special card.
