CC529 Bold Poppies

Photo Details

Poster: beesmom

Using our lovely colors this week- including desert, which is green (CC529): I masked the edges of the card, and sponged lightly around the edges, building up the ink particularly in the lower right corner. Inked the stamp with the small distress ink squares and markers, stamped, and added black enamel accents. Stamped the sentiment and then splattered with distress inks diluted a bit with water. Removed mask. Also fits our CAS323 challenge: M for mambo, A for accents (glossy black accents) and Y for yellow). Linking also to:

This is such a pretty card. The flower are beautifully stamped and coloured. Love the soft sponging around the edges too. This is definitely "not just a note".

Oh I love all the softness of the colours, watercolour stamping and sponging. The splatters are superb. Don't you love splatters?

Beautiful !! Great job with the MAY word challenge. You also had masking for the letter M. I like how you left a wide white border and stamped & colored inside. It's so pretty. Nicely done. TFS

Wow, Maura! What a gorgeous card. There's not a doubt in my mind that you've totally mastered the whole water color concept. This is beautiful.
