Mary Marilynn Pam Debbie Nancy Bonnie Kathy Brenda Toni Tangii Thrifty Stamper Sue Kelli Janine Tammylee Janis L. Mark's FinestFor my sample today, I used a DIY paper technique I first saw used by Alison Cope last month. I stamped all my poppies first in a random pattern and then colored between. I liked the look so well, that I didn't feel the need to add color here or there like Allison did. I just added a few rhinestones to the exposed poppy center and called it good. I finished off my focal image with a some grosgrain ribbon and a sentiment. My card base looked rather flat compared to my DIY paper, so I took my Versamark cube and inked up the edges a bit.
