These cards feature the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and the coordinating Painted Layer Dies from Stampin' Up!.


The bottom mat on this card was cut from Old Olive CS, the top "frame" mat was cut from Poppy Parade CS and the center was cut out using one of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  The mat in between is Whisper White CS and was stamped and colored and then inserted between the other 2 mats.  I cut some "poppy" masks from Post-It tape by stamping the Poppy stamps onto the  tape with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then fussy cutting them out.  Then as I stamped each poppy flower on the white mat with Memento Ink, I covered each poppy with a mask so than nothing would overlap.  Next I stamped the stems in Memento Ink. And then I stamped some "greenery" on the bottom using a stamp from the Home to Roost Stamp Set using Old Olive Ink. I colored the top and bottom part of the mat using Blender Brushes - Balmy Blue Ink on the top section and Old Olive Ink on the bottom section.  I "dotted" both sections using a stamp from the Forever Fern Stamp Set. I removed the mask from the poppies and colored them and the buds using the Poppy Parade Stampin' Blend Set, and then colored the stems and leaves using the Old Olive Stampin' Blend Set.  I colored some clear Epoxy Shapes using the Poppy Parade Blends and place them at the center of the three flowers. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set and was stamped using the Memento Ink. 



The next card was made similarly.  The card bottom mat was cut from Old Olive CS, the top mat was cut from Whisper White CS.  The poppies, stem and leaves, and the sentiment were all stamped with Memento Ink. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.  The poppies were masked as above and then using Blender Brushes, I colored the bottom section using Old Olive Ink and above a bit of Marina Mist Ink.  I "dotted" the sections and stamped the "greenery" as above.   Then I removed the masks and colored the poppies and buds using the Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend Set.  The leaves and stems using the Old Olive Blend Set.  I added some coordinating Enamel Shapes to the center of the Poppies.





The bottom mat on this card was cut from Rich Razzleberry CS, the top mat from Whisper White CS. This last card was stamped, masked and "dotted" similarly as above.  The poppies were colored with Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Blends, the leaves and stems with Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends. I stamped an extra flower on a scrap of Whisper White CS, colored it with the same RR blends and die cut it with the coordinating die from the Painted Layers Die Set.  The circular shape is from the Swirly Scribbles Die Set and was cut from Granny Apple Green CS.  The leaves were also cut from Granny Apple Green CS using the Painted Layers Dies and then sponged around the edges with Granny Apple Green Ink for some contrast.  This poppy was popped up with Dimensionals. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set and was stamped with Rich Razzleberry Ink.  Coordinating Enamel Shapes were added to the center of the poppies and on the card front.
