Pretty Poppies


I couldn't wait to ink up something from my Unity April KOTM when it arrived, and even though it took me a couple of days to get to it - I'm still excited that I didn't have to wait TOO long! So...this pretty poppy is where I started!
I stamped it on white cardstock, colored with Copics, then inked the edges heavily with Tim Holtz distress ink in Antique Linen. 
Layered some papers from Basic Grey's new Konnichiwa 6x6 paper pad together for the card base, inked the edges of each of them with distress ink in Vintage Photo, then added a bit of pretty lace from Ribbon Carousel.  
Attached the flower piece with pop-dots, as well as a small scrap of the orange paper with the sentiment stamped and partly colored with Copics. Finished off with a little button from my stash, with a bit of jute twine tied through it.

  6. I bet the model in the picture wishes her outfit was even close to being as pretty as this card is. The outfit is really bad, but your card is amazing! I really love the mix of textures in the papers with the beautiful coloring. They all work so well together! Love it!
