Poppies - Pt2

Welcome

Here is the other 'poppy' card I made recently, I can share it now as I know it has reached it's destination. 

  I used a couple of new to me techniques in the stencilled area.  Partial masking under a stencil, as per the Group Of Seven, and double stenciling. which I have seen happening on several blogs, and simply gave it a go....

After partially masking the card base with some paper I had die cut using a curved die. I then used Memento Pear Tart ink through a Newton's Nook polka dot stencil,  then replaced the stencil with a very old Layers of Color leaf swirl stencil and inked with Bamboo Shoots ink.

The poppy I had coloured with Polychromo pencils when I first bought the stamps, then die cut it. It was a bit off centre,😟so the cut image got slid back into the packet and left... 

To redeem it, I layered cut  two layers of green cardstock and layered it slightly off centre - the way it sits on the card, the (too) close cut edge is over the white, and not noticable, but the image pops against the busy background!!

The sentiment, a magazine freebie, was stamped in C.P Grass Skirt ink and clear embossed. The feature panel was then layered over a red base, and some red sequins added.

I stamped the poppy image on the insert, using markers to colour the stamp, then 'huffing' on it before stamping to re-moisten the inks.

The envelope was stamped in the same manner.
