STAMPIN' UP! BAND TOGETHER BIRTHDAY CARD IN POPPY PARADE & OLD OLIVE

I so love these gorgeous cards by Jacque Williams, and had a lot of fun recreating them.  I then decided to CASE the design, but mix it up a little, to show some love to the retiring Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper.

I liked Jacque's tip, about running the main flower panel (after stamping and colouring it) through the Subtle 3D embossing folder, then turning it 90 degrees, and embossing it again.  I hadn't tried this before, and love the linen effect it gives.  I used my Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blends marker to colour the Crinkled White Seam Binding.  The Light Black Stampin' Blends marker was used to add subtle background splatters (by flicking the brush tip lightly against the inside of the lid, from a little bit of a height).  I outlined the stamped image with the Light Gray Granite Stampin' Blends marker.

Listed below are the products I used to make this card.  If you would like to buy them for yourself, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.  I'd love for you to shop with me, for your Stampin' Up! supplies, if you live in Australia and don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.
