The Right Words – Fabulous Poppies

Welcome back!  Friday…where did the week go?

Today’s card was influenced by: Festive Friday (#196) and their Veterans Day theme with a pick list; and I chose to CASE Bobby Hagen’s card for Just Us Girls (#799); and to share with Krafty Chicks (#792) for their Anything Goes theme.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8¼” x 5½” scored at 4⅛”) Basic Beige cardstock.
• Card Front: (4⅛” x 5½”) Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.
• Background Panel: (4¼” x 5½”) Mossy Meadow cardstock die-cut with the (3⅞” x 5¼”) Stitched Rectangle die from the Textured Notes Dies set, an On-Line Exclusive product.
• Focal Panel: (3¼” x 4¾”) Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper die-cut with the (3⅛” x 4½”) Stitched Ticket Corner Rectangle die from the Branching Out Dies set.
  • The Stem image from the retired Fabulous Florets stamp set was inked with Old Olive ink and misted with water from a water filled Stampin’ Spritzer bottle and then stamped.
• Focal Image – Poppies: Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper Scraps.
  • The Poppy images, also from the Fabulous Florets stamp set, were stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with Black Embossing Powder.
  • The Poppies were then watercolored using the Fine Water Painter Brush and Poppy Parade ink picked up from the Ink Pad Lid.
  • When dry, the Poppies were fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
• Sentiment Oval: Mossy Meadow cardstock scrap.
  • The sentiment, Forever loved, forever remembered, from The Right Words stamp set was also stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.
  • The sentiment was then die-cut with the (2¼” x 1¼”) Oval die from the retired Framelits Oval Collection Dies set.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble Bobby’s layout and, the Poppies were popped up with Dimensionals.

A lovely Remembrance card.
