I was inspired by the style and colors of these images.
Except for the poppy die, this is a one layer card. I started by sponging my card front in warm red/orange/ yellow inks, then laid my hypnotic stencil down in the upper left corner and sponged some more. Stamped the sentiment so I would know where else I could stamp, and then stamped randomly with the Mixed Media grunge stamps- keeping in mind approximately where I would put the poppy. Sponged some more, splattered diluted white acrylic paint as well as some of the other sponged colors, then sponged around the edges with black soot for some definition. Added the die cut poppy and done!

OOOOO I love the warm colors you used and that hypnotic stencil is very cool...definitely draws in the eye. I really like how you added in all the grunge stamps here and there.
Enjoy the heat today Maura!
