As You See It Challenge #224—-Speed Painted Poppies

Today’s card I made as a challenge from my stamping friend Tracy.  She had participated in her very first challenge, I can’t say I’m very far ahead of her.  Although, this isn’t my very first challenge, it’s pretty close.  So here goes, the challenge was to make a card with flowers in 10 minutes or less.  I was allowed to gather my stamps, ink and paper and design my card in my head or sketch it out.  I designed this card in my head, loosely based on a card I had created several weeks back.  It was a time intensive card with a lot of coloring and shading with my stampin’ blends.  So, I pulled out my Painted Poppies, Varied Vases for the sentiment and First Frost to use one of those stamps to color in my smaller poppy.  I sure hope you like it as much as I do.  

I started with a piece of whisper white cardstock cut at 5 1/8 x 3 7/8I stamped the sentiment in early espresso first near the center of the card to ensure I would have plenty of room for it.  Next, I stamped the large poppy outlines, then the smaller poppies in early espresso.  I then filled in the larger poppies using lovely lipstick.  The smaller poppies were filled in with a stamp from First Frost in seaside spray and grapefruit grove.  I then masked the poppies with a post it note and stamped the leaves in early espresso.  These leaves are very quickly colored using the stampin’ blends in the old olive combo with a little light mossy meadow.  I then added my focal image to a card base of early espresso cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, and folded in half.  Time to finish was 8:37:57. #simplestamping
