Poppy Mother's Day Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you had a good weekend and are now ready for the week ahead.

I have made  my second Mother's Day Card this one will be for my Mother-in-law she loves poppies. Which means the rose card I made will be for my mum.

The background was made the the Penny Black Poppy Poem stamp it was stamped several times with black archival and then the colour was added with Distress ink.

I used a stamp from a magazine for the sentiment and the poppies were made with the Tranquil Poppy die designed by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions. 

I think she will like this card she does love poppies so much. 

I would like to enter challenge 7 at Create with TLC.

Happy Crafting

Fantasy Stampers - Poppy Appeal

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Happy Saturday. I hope that you have something nice planned for the weekend. Once we have cleaned out the bunnies we are dashing off to see our daughter. Her fiance is working and we are going to help with some jobs around their house like taking stuff to the tip. On Sunday we are having lunch with our friend who lost his wife recently.

The new challenge starts today on the Fantasy Stampers Challenge blog the theme is Poppy Appeal. I do love poppies on cards.

I have a bit of a confession. I did make a card with all the elements you can see in the tag but I didn't like it. So I made the tag and I was much happier with the result. 

The wooden mounted  stamp is Poppy Poem by Penny Black. I stamped it with black archival onto water colour card and I coloured it with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. 

It was a shame about the card I will probably still use it and the present that goes with it can have a matching tag. 

If you pop back tomorrow the winners will be announced on the Fantasy Stampers Challenge Blog. 

I would like to enter the Red for  Remembrance challenge at the Sweet Stampin' Challenge blog and the Anything Goes Challenge at the More Mixed Media Challenge blog. 

I hope that you have a wonderful weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Poppy meets Sparkle pens

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How has your weekend been so far. As predicted we have mostly been making thing for our niece's wedding which is next week on Easter Saturday. It all took a lot longer than I thought and we still have one quite long job to finish tomorrow. I will photograph everything and blog it after the wedding. Everything is very nicely themed.

I made this card for my Mother-in-law's birthday she loves poppies. To be honest I wanted another chance to play with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens and I thought this Penny Black stamp would be a good choice.

I made the the frame with some Sue Wilson noble dies. 

The image was stamped in black archival ink and coloured with my sparkle pens. I did use a brush and some water to move the colour around.  

I use the dining room table for everything this is what it looked like when I was writing my Easter cards. All the cards that I can give by hand get a small chocolate bunny. 

I am sure my Mother-in-law will love this card. I think poppies are her favourite flower. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. 

Take care.
