Poppies…

jks-elegant-poppies-slice.jpg

Poppies are one of those flowers you just have to love. Rich, vibrant and full of life but tough and resilient as well. I decided to have fun with this new image by giving it an eye-poppin combo of red, black and aqua. I’m not usually a “red” girl but this time of year…I had fun heating things up a little! We’ve been going through an extremely cold snap here right now. Brrrrrr! This design was cut out with a Labels 2 Spellbinders die and then colored and airbrushed with my Copic Markers. For a fun way to add black accents to my poppy centers, I adhered some black buttons to them.

Quick Tip: When stamping your Scrapblock™ background, center your layer evenly on each side, especially when you have a balanced pattern. An easy way I do this is to ink the Scrapblock™ face-up on the table and then carefully lay my layer on top. I press firmly with my hands to get an even impression.

Have a fabulous Sunday!
