I really wanted to use a red poppy for this week's MixAbility challenge and had pulled out a stamp, so when I found a lovely Poppy box on the IC site this morning, I knew my poppy stamp could do double duty.
A2 white Bazzill base, embossed with Chicken Wire.
Old book page with a couple of layers of gesso. I stamped the poppy image and masked it loosely before spritzing with a homemade mist (Fired Brick re-inker, Plum Perfect Pearls). Poppy coloured with distress inks (Peeled Paint, Gathered Twigs, Barn Door) and H2Os, with added Stickles. For my 3rd red medium I smeared the edges with red Liquid Pearls after tearing the image to size. The original book page text is a bit muted but the dymo label is a strong text element . From the IC, I added a touch of gold by adding a circle embossed with gold EP under a button tied with hemp.
