Summer for me is all about colour and flowers and one of my favourite flowers is the poppy - I love the vibrant red of this flower. I used the IndigoBlu stamps from the Poppy Meadow sheet which are available at the Craft Den
The background was coloured by blending scattered straw, dried marigold and fired brick DIs. The Poppies were coloured with fired brick, peeled paint and black soot DIs. The butterflies are die cuts using Tim Holtz alterations dies and these were dry embossed with a cuttlebug folder,coloured using DIs and a few red beads added to create the bodies.
I am entering this into the following challenges:
