Hello, I made this for Faith's (Markie's Mom) challenge on the Flourishes forum. We were to use Red, white & black.
I've just returned from rereading the rules, & apparently I am having a similar problem to the contestants on Amazing Race! (not reading properly!) So it was to be ONLY red, white & black! oh well, here it is anyway!
The card base is black, with a layer of red dp from the provo craft super slab.
I stamped the poppies onto watercolour paper with versamark, and embossed with black EP.
The flowers were coloured with a ruby red, and real red marker and a water brush. The stem & leaves are green (that's were I went wrong!) The leaves were stamped on a separate piece of wc paper & cut out.
The sentiment was stamped with versamark & embossed with block EP. Then I cut it out with a spellbinders die from Tag trios & sponged the edge a little. The ribbon was threaded through, and the sentiment is popped up.
I love this card, I hope you do too!
