Happy Day Wishes

Hello! Kim here to share a card I made using the Poppy ATC stamp and coloring it in with Copic markers. I die cut the flowers after I finished coloring. On the middle circle die, I did a 3rd generation stamping to eliminate the black and created a background behind the sentiment. The fun part is creating the embossed multi-color background for the card front. I did it by using my air can and Copic markers with yellow, blue and green colors then embossed it. I finished off the card by adding sequins using Glastique to adhere it to the embossed background and added a ribbon and a pearl accent.

Watercolored Poppies with Leah

Hello everyone, and welcome to my month of watercolor inspiration for Sweet Stamp!

For this project I decided to make two (almost) identical cards using the Poppies 1007 red rubber stamp and the Beautiful Day stamp and some watercolors to create a classy and simple card.

If you would like to see more details about how I made this card, please visit my blog at Ode to Paper.

This Poppies stamp set is so beautiful, and since poppies come in all kinds of different colors, you can really have fun with it :)

You can make a simple card so elegant with an image like this.  It becomes the focal point of the card so easily, and with so little work involved in the actual card-making process.  When you put  alot of time into the image itself, you don't always want to make a busy card, let the image do the talking!

Come back soon for more beautiful inspiration from the talented design team here at Sweet Stamps, and don't forget to come back and join us for one of two monthly challenges!
