Happy Anniversary Poppy

Hello!

I made this card yesterday, not sure if it's Artsy or just rhymes with Artsy.....  ;)

I will enter it into the Challenge at Simon Says Monday, A Ray Of Sunshine.  It is bright AND sunny!

 
 
I used my new stamp and die set from Altenew, Painted Poppy.  I LOVE this set and am experimenting with it.  I stamped the Poppy in Dove Grey and Tuxedo Black inks on to water color paper.  Sentiment stamped in Tuxedo Black ink.  Then using a water brush and some Daffodil Delight ink I colored the entire background.


 
Using the die I cut out the Poppy and one leaf.  Stamped images.  Adhered to the card base.  Yellow and white Gingham Ribbon for accent.  I find I love just tying the ribbons in a knot and not a bow, I can not remember the last time I made a bow.
 
Eh...It looked so much better in my head. 
 
Thanks for stopping by, hope you're not all tied up in knots!
 
Enjoy~~

  6. I just love this sunny, sweet card. Putting the leaf over the ribbon is genius. Great water coloring too, can't wait to see what else you do with the stamp set. It's a keeper, as is your card!!

  7. NO, this doesn't just rhyme with artsy...it is artsy. Love the black stamped flower behind the die cut one. Like Judy, I think the leaf over the ribbon is genious
