I made this as a sample for the WTUI challenge today - Toni is asking us to use RED, RED, RED. I know someone who will love today's challenge ;-).
I also used Judy's TLC468 from Monday.
Black base.
Next layer is white card, scribbled over with mostly a red Gelato, plus a little green and pink, then blended with my finger. I used a Marvy corner punch.
Image layer - I stamped the poppies on watercolour paper and coloured the stems and buds with a green Sakura glaze pen. Then I used a couple of H2Os to wash all over the card, and finally toned it down a little with some gesso.
For the poppies I used Judy's technique, with Cranberry, Red Pepper and Watermelon alcohol inks. I must admit that by the time I tried smashing the two sheets of glossy together, the ink had dried out quite a bit, but I'm sure I can use the second sheet for something! I stamped the poppies on the better one, and embossed them. I added some gold pen in the centres.
TCP sentiment layered onto a Spellbinders tag, and I added some faux brads punched from the glossy red card. White gel pen accents to finish it off. I see I need to stamp the sentiment again, but DH was at my desk most of the afternoon.

Oh, love your beautiful poppies!!! Poppies are the state flower for Cali, so they are a favorite with most everyone who lives here.
Love your beautiful card!

Sabrina....your poppies are colored wonderfully and the blue bg is perfect to showcase them. The bg paper is fantastic. Love always how the black just makes everything pop. tfs

Great card. I love the corner treatment with the little white dots. I forget to use my corner punches and it adds so much to this card. Beautiful flowers and you did a perfect job with the fussy cutting - always my least favorite craft technique.
