Penny Black Poppy Trio: Two Approaches

Today I’m sharing two cards using the Penny Black Poppy Trio stamp [#40-311] .

For the first card, I stamped and heat embossed the image four times – on green, yellow, orange and dark orange cardstock. I then fussy cut the blossoms and adhered them to the green card panel. I finished the card with a sentiment from the Friendship Flowers set [#30-223].

For the next card, I stamped and heat embossed the image on Strathmore 140lb coldpress watercolor paper and colored the image with Distress Inks – Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Peeled Paint, and Tumbled Glass. I die cut the watercolored image and added a sentiment from the Penny Black Kind Words [#30-226] set, which was stamped and heat embossed on vellum.

  1. Both approaches are stunners. I am loving the watercolor just a smidge more….probably because of class. My normal inclination would be the brighter bold images. Loved your video in class today.

  2. Both are so elegant and clean, Jean – gorgeous! Loved your balloon video in class – you work magic with watercolours 🙂
