Good afternoon all,

Today I’d like to share the latest in my series of 5 inch square notelets … I’m pushing on in my mission to complete a set!!

The design of this one was inspired by another Jo Rice YouTube tutorial, though my card is a different shape so my flowers are closer together.  

I started by masking the top and bottom of my base card, then blending 4 colours of Distress Oxide ink from light to dark, to make a band across the card which I then spattered with water.  I then stamped my flowers using a mixture if Versafine Onyx, Versafine Sepia, and Sepia 2nd generation stamping to add dimension. I used my Lavinia circle mask and Distress Inks to make my setting sun, then coloured my poppies with a red Sakura sparkle pen, and highlighted the sun and other flowers with a gold sparkle pen. Lastly I stamped my sentiment directly onto the base card using my Press to Impress stamp positioner … job done!  I also stamped the envelope to match, but only used permanent ink so the envelope is suitable for posting.

Stamps: Lavinia Group Poppies, Wild Poppies, Dandelions, Field Grass; sentiment - Lee Holland set “You Are My Sunshine”;

Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Fossilized Amber, Sliced Marmalade, Ripe Persimon, Barn Door); Distress Inks (Tea Dye, Vintage Photo); Versafine (Onyx, Sepia); Sakura Gelly roll sparkle pens - red and gold.
