Now for today's inspiration... Hi friends! It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share a few slimline cards featuring the gorgeous Poppy Seedheads stamp by Tracy Evans for AALL & Create. I have been itching to use this gorgeous stamp and finally sat down to some good old inky fun.
I used different combinations of Distress Inks to make my backgrounds
and to watercolor the poppies. I cut them out and mounted them for
dimension.
I wanted to tie the red from the poppies in another way, so I stamped a portion of one of my all time favorite AALL & Create stamps, Enumerated by Olga Heldwein and cut it with postal edge scissors. I popped it up and added a twine bow and snippet of label tape. These were fun to make! I hope they've inspired you to have a play. Hugs, Autumn

So gorgeous! Love these colors with this beautiful stamp!
ReplyDeleteNice colorful trio, Autumn! Did you use lots of water and then used a waterbrush on the stamp pad to transfer the color? No fusions this time? Please share your technique - I love it!

Hi Mary! I’m sorry I just saw your sweet comment. For the backgrounds I dabbed the pads on my Kraft mat then spritzed with water to dip the panels. For the coloring I also dabbed my panels on the Kraft mat and used a water brush to pick up the color and add to the stamped image. I’m so happy you are inspired. Hugs, Autumn
