Oh, So Lovely

I love it when Kristina posts her color inspirations on a Wednesday...it means I actually have time to sit down and play (sometimes ;-).

This week's color inspiration colours are very beautiful:


My submission is only a simple card, but it took a good bit longer to make than I would have liked. I think my mojo is out visiting, but I kept going without it anyway:


The background cardstock is Ruby Red. I have stamped it with the crosshatch stamp in the 'Oh, So Lovely' stamp set. Then there are a whole bunch of layers, including a piece of cardstock vellum. The main image is also from the 'Oh, So Lovely' stamp set, and it has been stamped in Stazon onto Whisper White textured cardstock.

I have coloured the poppies using Stampin' Up! Watercolour Wonder Crayons. You will have to believe me when I tell you the stems of those poppies are Sage Shadow. I have also applied Crystal Effects to the flower heads.

Thanks for looking,
Sam.

That's really effective Sam, even the dreaded Pumpkin Pie looks good :)

And you Cirque cards are gorgeous too, especially that first one. Wish my abs looked like that too!

beautiful card, and the vellum I think really caps it off (which might sound odd, but it's funny how these things work some times!)
