Tissue Paper Poppies

Hi there, Stampin' Friends!  I have been creating again with one of my favorite techniques.  I really enjoy stamping on tissue paper! I like the natural texture that appears after you have stamped, colored the image, wadded up your tissue paper, straightened the image back out and then glued it to card stock.  To top it off, Poppies are one of my favorite flowers in my garden. It's a double joy...favorite technique, favorite flower!  The tutorial for this technique is Faux Silk.

 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Blessings ~

Sepia Poppies

Hi there, Stampin' Friends!  While I still had all my 'sepia' supplies out on my desk, I decided to create another sepia card.  I love the soft monochromatic look.

 

 I stamped the Pleasant Poppies onto Whisper White card stock with Jet Black Stazon ink.  Using my aqua painter and Baked Brown Sugar reinker, I colored in the poppies. The centers were done with Soft Suede.  The focal image is sponged with Baked Brown Sugar and 'speckled' with a stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.  I dyed the Very Vanilla seam binding with Basic Black refill.  The sentiment was stamped using the Stamp a ma jig.  I adhered this piece to Whisper White card stock using Tombow liquid glue.

I'd love to hear what you think about this card so feel free to leave a comment.  If you have questions, please ask.

Painted Poppies

Hi there, Stampin' Friends!  I feel in love with a painted poppies creation made by Lydia Fiedler.  I knew I wanted to give it a try.  I used acrylic paint and Stampin' Up! reinkers to do this technique.

I started with a piece of watercolor paper and painted it with Gesso.  I heat dryed it just to speed up the process.  Next I inked up the Pleasant Poppies stamp with black Stazon and stamped it onto the watercolor paper.  I mixed white acrylic paint and a few drops of  Island Indigo reinker to paint the background.  Once the background was all painted and dried, I made more 'reinker paint' with Tangerine Tango (poppies), Always Artichoke (stems and buds), and Early Espresso (center of the poppies).  I am happy with the way it turned out.

.

 I used the retired ticket corner punch and mounted the painted image on black card stock before mounting it with foam mounting tape to the black card base.  The verse is embossed with white embossing powder.  The acrylic paint was a fun medium to incorporate with my stamping.

The lines from the Stazon lines from the stamped image show faintly through the painted areas.  The texture of this card is truly like a painting.  However, it is difficult to capture with my camera.

Supplies:
Stamp Sets: Pleasant Poppies, Blessings from Heaven
Card Stock: Watercolor paper, Black, Whisper White (inside)
Ink: Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango, Always Artichoke, Early Espresso, Black Stazon
Tools: Gesso, Acrylic Paint, paintbrushes, ticket corner punch (retired), foam mounting tape (could use dimensionals)

Please leave a comment.  I'd love to know what you think about this fun mixed media creation.  If you have questions, please ask!
