Pleasant Poppies

I didn't love this stamp until I cut it into two pieces. I really did cut it! This is just one of the pieces. It made it so much easier to work with it.  I stamped it on very vanilla using black stazon, then stamped with En Francais in old olive over the top of it. I used an olive marker to color in the stems. I stamped the flowers on another piece of vanilla, colored them with an aqua painter and melon mambo ink, and added highlights with  a mambo marker and white gel pen. Next, I pressed the colored tops into versa mark and embossed them with dazzling details. I cut them out and used dimensionals to pop them up. I also tied on some mambo seam binding. I embossed a layer of crumb cake with the dotted folder after I stamped the birthday greeting on it (Bring on the Cake), and then mounted that on a crumb cake base. Super pretty card. It really sparkles!
