Mark's Finest Papers
I love this new set. The poppy images are so beautiful. For this card, I colored my image with prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I popped up the top flower for some dimension.

I found some great designer paper in my stash. I thought it complemented the poppies well. I stamped my sentiment and added some Spellbinder pennants to complete my card.

The layout on this card is from the Sweet Sunday Sketch #161.




This 2nd card is another one that I made with this new set. I used the emboss resist technique. I stamped the image with Versamark and then embossed with white embossing powder on kraft cardstock.

I sponged wild honey distress ink and tangerine tango on the background. Added some chocolate satin ribbon and layered a crushed curry grosgrain over that. Tied a satin bow with a button center to complete this card.

That's it for me today. The next stop on the hop is Marilynn's blog.

    Love the cards. The first one is my favorite because the coloring pops the poppies off the page. Thank you for these beautiful cards.
