Here's today's Paper Craft Crew card map challenge and as soon as I saw it I decided to do something unusual with the large center image.
I didn't want to use a punched image with a layer. Instead, I knew right away that I wanted to use my Painted Poppies stamp set and replace that center image with not one, but three poppies.
Do you ever get that sometimes? When you see a card map or another card and this idea pops into your head? That's what happened to me.
So I grabbed my Painted Poppies bundle:
And my Stampin' Blends:
and set to work by stamping and coloring the poppies and leaves. Then the rest was pretty simple. I laid the poppies and leaves on the Granny Apple Green card front (did you spot the Versamark stamped background?) and then when I was happy with how they looked, I adhered them down.
That left the phrase. Again, an idea popped to mind: to use my Well Written dies instead of a stamped and punched phrase:
The final touch was to add a few of the Peaceful Poppies Sequins and taa-daa, my card was complete:
I love the simplicity of this card and the 'hooray' can be used for so many different occasions, too, can't it? If you want to see what the other design crew members created for this challenge, click here!
