Today I have used the elegant Poppies Set #771b digital stamp set
from Sparkle N Sprinkle, one of our generous sponsors this week.

The images were designed by the talented Beccy Muir.

I set up the card panels using Adobe PhotoShop, tucking the sentiment in between the flower and leaf, with two image panels fitting on a A5 sheet.  This set comes with a beautiful collection of sentiments to choose from.

I printed the images on X-Press It blending card, "set" with my heat tool and coloured with Copic markers.

One image I coloured with "light" shining off the curve of the petals, the other version with the petals fading towards the edges.  I also used different shades of green for the leaves and stems.

 

I trimmed the image panels to be 3" wide and (the full height of the landscape A5 sheet) and matted them with scarlet cardstock, giving a 1/16" border.

... and one last pic of them together.

Which one do you prefer?
