Mothers Day. or more correctly, Mothering Sunday cards handed out, so now I can post them up. These were the Indigo Blu, Blazing Poppies panels that I stamped and coloured. The Poppies themselves are coloured with Promarkers, and the shading around them with Distress Inks.
After the shading, each was matted onto a matching cardstock, and then a medallion was punched, using the punch shown. This was cut out leaving a narrow border, then trimmed diagonally in half, to give a couple of ornate photo corners for each one.
Next up the embossed lines were created for the panel to sit inside.The base card is an A4 sheet of white pearlescent folded in half.
The long panels are added between the lines, and the main panel slightly overlaps this.
Fortunately,I'd used foam tape to add the panel, as it was only checking how well the photo had come out that I realised I had placed the pink cards panel upside down! But it peeled off with out any damage, and re- stuck down.
As the only Mothers Day stamp I have is too large for the front of this card, I again used up some peel-offs for the sentiment.

Gorgeous combinations of elements, Shaz nice to see the finished work of your desk :) love the fancy corners, have done that with a CB too, but never thought of the various medallions in die.
Thanks so much for sharing, Shaz in Oz.x

Beautiful Poppies Shaz. Your colouring is always so perfect too. Need to take lessons from you I think. Hope your well. Hugs Rita xxx
Oh wow Shaz, these are totally fabulous! I adore what you've done with the colour, and the layering of the card topper. The design is superb. You certainly have been busy!
