I die-cut a circular frame from a piece of Sun Prints dsp using the layering Circle Dies. I placed the piece of Vellum on top of the stamped panel and laid the die-cut frame on top. Once I had decided on placement, I glued the frame to the Vellum with dots of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The leaves from the Flowering Tulips stamp set were stamped in Old Olive ink onto Pear Pizzazz card and die cut them out using the Tulip Dies. The outer tulip parts were die-cut from scarp Blushing Bride card and the inner tulip parts from Flirty Flamingo card. I put them together using Mini Glue Dots and added colour to the base of the petals using the Flirty Flamingo Blends Pens. The Mint Macaron leaves were die cut using the Natural Prints Dies. Using liquid glue. I added the flowers and leaves to the circular frame.

I mounted the decorated Vellum panel to the stamped background piece using dabs of liquid glue.

The sentiment, from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set was stamped onto scrap Poppy Parade card in Versamark ink, covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a Heat Tool. I then used a Layering Circle Die to cut it out.

I added a couple of loops of Elegant Trim to the back of the sentiment label and added it to the panel on Dimensionals.

Ornate Poppy

Posted on May 29, 2020May 21, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Here is a sweet Ornate Poppy card I made to celebrate the wedding anniversary of my friends Lyndsay and Richard. Lyndsay should recognise the poppy as I made a number of them when I was last with her. They were inspired by a lovely card made by Su Mohr which I found on Pinterest.

To recreate the Ornate Poppy card you will need:

Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Early Espresso – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Early Espresso – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap Whisper White, Early Espresso & Mossy Meadow

I ran the smaller Early Espresso layer through the Big Shot inside the Ornate Floral Embossing Powder. This folder is gorgeous and gives so much texture to the card.

I wrapped a piece of the Petal Pink Organdie Stripped Ribbon around the embossed panel and adhered it on the back with Sellotape. This panel was glued to the Petal Pink card base using Snail Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -An annivesary card made using the painted poppies bundle and the ornate floral embossing folder

I took the ‘smudge’ stamp, from the Painted Poppies stamp set inked it up with Flirty Flamingo ink and stamped it randomly a scrap piece of Whisper White. This step was repeated using So Saffron ink and Petal Pink ink until the whole layer was covered in ink.

Using the Poppy Moments dies I die cut the detailed flower from the stamped panel. I die cut the same image and the full blank flower from Whisper White card stock. I mounted the patterned die cut flower outline onto the White flower blank with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and carefully fitted in the white die cut pieces. Doesn’t the flower look fab……..I love bit of paper piecing. I die cut a flower centre from scrap Early Espresso card and added it to the centre of the flower using the liquid glue.

I punched a leaf from scrap Mossy Meadow card using the Leaf Punch – so sad this is retiring, and added it to the back of the poppy using Snail Adhesive. The poppy was added over the ribbon on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set, another set I will miss, was stamped using Early Espresso ink, die cut using one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I added it to the card front with Snail Adhesive. To complete the card I added a scattering of Iridescent Sequins, yet another thing I will really miss…..

I hope Lyndsay and Richard like the card.

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Flirty Flamingo – 5½” by 3¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 3
Scrap Whisper White, Soft Sea Foam & Soft Suede

I began by taking the ‘smudge’ stamp, inking it up with Flirty Flamingo ink and stamping it randomly across one of the Whisper White panels. This step was repeated using So Saffron ink and Petal Pink ink until the whole layer was covered in ink.
