Another fifty years....

Final Golden Wedding card for a bit I think! :) Had to be something different again and the customer had requested poppies so a good excuse to break out the Indigo Blu Poppy Heart Stamp!



  • Stamp was heat embossed in gold onto card blank. 
  • Top layer was 3D foamed onto the base with a die cut heart to fit over the stamped image beneath.
  • Then I cut another heart in a spare piece of  the same card stock and then cut around the hole, to make a frame for the heart which I 3D mounted on top. ( Added gold bling to this, but it looks rather like brown bling in the photo!)
  • After that I die cut some swirls and leaves as a base for the flowers in the same pearlescent card stock.
  • I painted some poppies with gold paint to get them to tie in. ( I tried leaving them red but it just didn't work... and if I added in more reds to the card layout  it started to look like a ruby wedding card not a golden one. ) The effect was almost like rose gold, so I think it worked ok!
  • Greeting phrase was created on the computer.

New Stamp Love.

Have to admit I've seen this stamp in almost every craft mag and always wanted it. Using it currently in the interior of an anniversary card. Coloured with copics.

Stamp is IndigoBlu, code PH (poppy heart)
