A birthday card for a friend who and loves the colour red, made for Seize the Birthday "Make It Musical" and Can You Handle the Pressure "Embossing Folder with a Twist of Poppies".
A musical embossing folder for the background since my friend plays the ukulele and is in a choir. And red poppies were a perfect choice as red is her favourite colour and she's a keen gardener. I die cut the poppies out of watercolour paper and then wet just the flowers and sprinkled red brushos on them, and then watercoloured the stems in dark green. I cut them twice more out of scrap cs and glued them together for substance. I sprinkled the same red brushos on a scrap of watercolour paper and die cut the sentiment from that.
I'm also linking it to My Time to Craft Challenge "Using Die Cuts", to AAA Birthday "Anything Birthday Goes", and to Beautiful Blossoms "Anything Goes Flowers".
Supplies:
Paper - watercolour paper, white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Penny Black Bodacious die, Gummipan Happy Birthday die, red and green Brushos, Darice music embossing folder
Such an elegant card with the white music EF used for the background and love those bright and beautiful red poppies. Perfect for your musical friend with a love of red. x
