Floral Punch Craft - Poppies

I love the vibrance of Poppies, each day on my way to and from work I pass a field which is just a blanket of poppies I have to catch my breath everytime I pass them.

I used the Papertrey Ink stamps with a Brilliance Rocket Red to stamp the sentiments and cut out the rectangles with Nestabilities to mount the Poppies onto then tied it all together with a grosgrain bright red ribbon.

Nostalgic Card

The Tin Bath stamp made by Me.
I had this image sketched for me by the Artist I am working with at the moment (Jim Harker) and I loved it so much I asked him to draw it up for me.
He gave me the image this afternoon and I new once dinner was over I would be producing my own craft stamp with it and here it is!
The background papers are from HOTP I stamped the image with versafine the coloured with watercolours.

I got some tips on colouring from Jim so this is the revived newly coloured card

Floral Punch Craft - Hydrangea

This was made using the Violets & Iris and the Lilacs & Daphne Floral Punch Bunch Theme punches and Penny Black stamps.

I punched out the flowers in 2 contrasting coloured paper and shaped them by pressing into the centres until they were a cupped flower I punched out the leaves in a green paper and scored in the veins and coloured them using fluid chalk inks, I built up the leaves and flowers onto a half Polystyrene half ball until it was fully covered.

Then inked up the flower stamp with Brilliance pearlescent ink in two contasting colours and a leaf shade and stamped directly onto the card.

I used black ink for the sentiment then layered this up.

Boat Scene- Watercolours

Image is a rubber stamp by Friends Stamps inxed with archival black ink and coloured with watercolour pencils, layered onto a sandy coloured card stock and a pattened paper by HOTP.
I love this scene, lazy summer days spring to mind when it is too hot to do anything but relax.
