Beautiful poppies by Stamps By Me

Hello everyone

Today I'm sharing a DT sample I made using one of my favourite new stamps from
Stamps By Me 
This is the very beautiful Follow Your Dreams. I love poppies and the design of this stamp is just gorgeous.
I also combined the sentiment from the new
Colour To The World stamp

I used these stamps in conjunction with a new style of card I've been playing with recently.  I love the look of continuing the stamped image onto the back of your card blank. I'll be posting a few more of this style I'm sure!! Lol

Also used :
Masking tape
Distress Inks : Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Fired Brick
Black onyx versafine
(Texture stencils and stamps from my stash )








  • To begin this style of card,  lay the card blank open, and flat, on your workspace. Use the maskng tape to create your desired panel
  • Blend the Distress inks within the masked panel, spritzing with water as and when desired 
  • Using the same coloured inks, ink randomly through various texture stencils and stamp randomly using texture stamps 
  • Stamp the poppies in Fired Brick Distress Ink, ensuring some overlap onto the back of the card blank. Use first and second generation stamping ie don't re-ink in between stamping. This creates a more muted stamped image, giving the impression of depth to your stamping
  • Stamp the sentiment in black onyx versafine 
  • Once ink is completely dry carefully removed tape to reveal your completed card 
I hope you enjoyed this post and liked this style of card.. I love it lol

Anyways,  many thanks for popping by
