Focal sentiment and a poppy

 

I'm here today with a little mid month reminder for our challenges at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations. 

My first card is for We Love Stamping. I used a stamp that is by Uniko but exclusive to Craftstash for my background, stamped in green. I cut a circle out for the sentiment to show through. I then didn't stamp onto acetate as you might think, but used a laminator sheet to stamp inside with a CC stamp and then laminated. I placed some patterned paper behind it.

This is my DT card for Stamping Sensations. I used an old poppy stamp from CC and a fade out ink pad for the no line watercolour effect. My first time using this technique and it didn't turn out too badly.

I embossed some black card with a TL Embossing folder and then put white ink over the top before colouring with Distress oxides. The sentiment is from a Lisa Horton pack.

As always we have fabulous prizes at both challenges. But we must see some stamping on the front of the card.
