I used the background stamp Pleasant Poppies and Pewter embossing powder to create this card. Then to highlight the flowers I used Whisper White craft ink (the lighter colour flowers) and Platinum Shimmer Paint, applied with a paint brush. I also used a Night of Navy Stampin' Write Marker to highlight the stems.
Supplies
Stamps: Pleasant Poppies, Sincere Salutations
Ink: Versamark, White Craft Ink, Platinum Shimmer Paint, Night of Navy
Paper: Night of Navy, Whisper White
Accessories: Wide Oval Punch, Glue Dots, Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon, Paint brush, Pewter Embossing Powder
