Painted Poppies in Poppy Parade For Monochromatic Monday

When I thought to feature Poppy Parade for Monochromatic Monday, I reached out for the much loved yet neglected Painted Poppies stamp set.

I paired it with the fabulous Go To Greetings Stamp set, making use of the fancy script font for these beautiful cards.

Tips: 

 

1) Missing the right colour ribbon to coordinate with your project? Did you know you can colour ribbons with Stampin' Blends? For the Just A Note card, I have coloured the White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon with Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends.

 

 

 

2) Even though the mini embossing folders are smaller than standard card size, it can still be used effectively. The Stripes folder from the Stripes and Splatters set added a lovely texture and interest to the Just A Note card.

3) Create a simple background by stamping images in the same colour as the card stock, as seen in the Happy Birthday card.

 

 

ps: the poppies in the card above was coloured with the Poppy Parade Stampin' Write Marker. It is darker than the Just A Note card which was coloured with Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends (the light one).

 

Why Monochromatic Monday?

 

Did you know Stampin' Up! offers at least 50 colours for all your creative work? All with coordinating card stock, ink pads and markers, and some/most with Stampin' Blends, ribbons and embellishments. Take a look at the range of colours!

 

 

In 2022, my personal challenge is to feature one colour each week on Monochromatic Monday.

I hope you will join me too, and use the #monochromaticmondaycard hashtag too.

 

As always, if you have any questions, I am happy to help you.

Until next post, have fun stamping!
