Main Colour Red

Good morning and welcome to Friday and a new Challenge on the Fussy and Fancy Challenge Blog.

The theme is ......Main Colour Red....and is hosted by Celine and sponsored by Crafty Sentiments....

Here is my take on it...hope you like it...

The main image is the Poppies in bloom Clarity stamp.

I started by stamping it copier paper,

And cutting the poppies out to make a mask.

Next I stamped the poppies onto my topper,

Placed the mask over,

And then stamped the script stamp.....organically....ie...without a mount...( it helps when using a mask )

When I removed the mask, this is what I had.

Next I used my Spectrum Noir pencils to add some colour..

Then some Distress Ink for around the edge..

The background was created with Distress ink and the script stamp.

Next I added some ribbon and some red card...

I stamped the sentiment ...

Used some gorgeous flowers and leaves from Sweet Lilac Paper Flowers.

You can find them here.....http://sweetlilacflowers.blogspot.co.uk.

Stamped a butterfly,

And started to assemble my design,

Here is a close up..

I do hope that you enter our challenge....or just pop over and have a look at the brilliant inspiration from my fellow D.T. Members......http://fussyandfancychallenge.blogspot.co.

Thanks for looking in today, have a great weekend all. If you are going to Ally Pally make sure you say hi to Barbara and Dee....

On Saturday I will be watching Mikey do his sponsored Abseil 197 feet down a tower at the Trafford Centre to raise funds for the British Red Cross Society...( as part of the Gusto team )

So enjoy your weekend and see you next week

Hugs,

Jo. X

Stunning card, such a great idea. I often stamp without a mount...... mostly because once I get started I can't be bothered to get up and find one that fits! Now I can just say I'm being organic ;) XX

Lovely card Jo. I haven't used this stamp in a while and you've given me the incentive to get it out of the drawer again! Well done to Mickey! xx
