Poppies, Pearls and Ribbon

Welcome
It is good to be back - I have been having a few 'issues' which delayed my return - not the least is that my computer does not like 'reading' my external hard drive where I store my photos!


I was inspired  by this card here by Darlene McCallum, and decided to 'case' it (Change And Share Everything), the rules when 'casing' a card are that you must change at least two things.
The main change was that I used two not three layers, and my main colour is red not turquoise.


I also used a different poppy stamp


and over painted the watercolours with Iridescent Red and Green Twinkling H2O's.


The sentiment differs and is stamped directly onto the embossed panel.  I also added some ribbon and pearls


Loved how this turned out!!

I am linking this to:
one of my original stamps and frequently used, it is so elegant.

Thanks for visiting, and it is such and encouragement when you choose to leave a comment.
May your day be blessed.

Stunning, my friend! What a lovely cut-out to the card, such dimension it adds! A real beauty! Blessings!

A beautiful card. I like your version best probably because I have a weakness for red poppies, and they do lend themselves to crafting! That is a particularly good poppy stamp too, with plenty of 'open space' for your own colouring. Kate x

Wonderful card, Maxine! I just love how the Twinkling H2Os add such a subtle glimmer to the poppy image. Wonderful layout, love the dotted embossed background with the circle for the image. Red is the perfect color for this image!
Blessings to you and yours!
