Well after a glorious weekend of weather the sky if back to looking a dull grey colour. Oh well it was fun while it lasted.
I am on a day off today, so spending it sitting at my craft desk. Todays make is a last minute addition to the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.
Supplies Used:
Penny Black - Poppy Poem
Pink Petticoat backing paper
ProMarkers
Frost White Shimmer paint to create the mother of pearl effect
Ribbon from my stash.
Here is the sketch that I followed; although my addition of the ribbon might not fit in with the sketch.

Fantastic! Love your take on the sketch! Glad you joined us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeletePersonally I like your decision to use ribbon. It fits well on the card and lets the poppy stand out.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning Gillian! Love the BG papers and that poppy is gorgeous. Can't wait for mine to bloom, tons of buds this year.

ReplyDeleteHello Gillian,
ReplyDeleteit's been a week, I have not looked at your blog ... :-( and you were extremely creative!
This card with the poppy is simply beautiful and the colors are so well associated!
Time is a little better and I had to do hard in my garden!
Now I see the end and I hope to have a little more time for the blogosphere! :-)
