Red poppies


 Good morning, it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin', the theme for this fortnight is
 'Use Red'
As it's Remembrance Day it seemed appropriate to use  a poppy image, a lovely digi from Morgan's Artworld. As usual  I've used my Copic markers to colour.
To make the background panel I used a Lavinia stencil and red Pan Pastels, fading the colour towards the top of the panel, the sentiment is stamped and embossed with black EP.

There's more inspiration over at Sweet Stampin' from the rest of the team so please do take a look! It would be great to see your take on the theme too, so why not play along- hope to see you there!
Thanks for visiting
Chris

  11. What a beautiful poppy card Chris. The red is so vibrant which is very appropriate. We have a few poppies growing wild on a building site near us and they look so poignant among the rubble.

  16. I love the bright red of your poppies and that is a very pretty digi you have used too. I have to pick up my monthly prescription today so will ask at the pharmacy what they can advise otherwise
    I will give the gold band a try. Hugs Mrs A.
