Pastel poppies

Poppies in themselves have a beautiful texture with their ruffled petals and these Heartfelt Creations blazing poppies are beautiful.

On this card, texture was enhanced by using an Anna Griffin "Poppy" embossing folder for the background and by using several layers of the Creative Expressions die set, Fiji.

Poppies were made using Heartfelt Creations Blazing poppies stamp and die set. I stamped the flowers with Ranger archival ink in Rose Madder and coloured them with the Rose Madder, Versamagic Pixie Dust and Spun Sugar distress inks. 

The poppies can be shaped beautifully by using the Basics flower mould, but I shaped these by hand. The stamens were die-cut on black, using the Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms dies.

The Creative Expressions Maidenhair fern dies create leaves that are perfect for any poppies or daisies.
