January Countdown to Confetti Day 2 Poppies

It's Day 2 in the Countdown to Confetti January Release. January 5-7 we're showing peeks of the new release that will be available for purchase on January 8. On January 8 we'll celebrate with a blog hop and share even more great ideas for these great products.

Today we're sharing Poppies! This is a triple bloom floral that is multi stamped. There is one outline die and three layers for the flowers and two for the leaves. I've inked them in lots of colors and each one is prettier than the next so no worries!

My first card starts with the Open Drop Cover panel that I inked with Distress Ink. I left the frame completely white so it pops against the pretty blue.

I arranged the florals along the top and bottom of the panel and adhered a sentiment in the center. I love friendship messages - those are the ones I reach for the most.

I stamped these florals in pinks and oranges. I stamped the variegated leaves in different shades of green to add some interest. The florals are adhered with adhesive foam tape to add dimension to the design.

On my second card I created a background of poppies in yellow and pink. It's like summer sunshine. The images are adhered on a Stitched Daisies cover panel.

When I was happy with their placement I adhered them flat to the background and then trimmed the edges. Some of the cut off pieces were used to fill in some of the smaller areas along the edges so very little went to waste.

The background is topped with a Layered Lots of Love Sentiment. I didn't want to cover up that pretty background so I cut the large background layer from vellum. This allows you to see the flowers underneath and still allows the sentiment to take center stage.

The flowers are really easy to stamp - the stamp layers allow you to stamp all three flowers at the same time so it goes quickly. The striped lines on the leaves are very forgiving and I free stamped them all just aligning them by site.

The Lots of Love was double cut from dark and light cardstock and adhered at a slight offset to add a little interest.

I love that stitched daisy design peeking through on the panel.
