The Stamp Review Crew: Painted Poppies

Welcome to another Stamp Crew Review Blog Hop!  We share our take on a selected stamp set every first and third Monday.  This week we are taking a look at the new Jan - Jun Occasions Catalog with the set Painted Poppies.  There are a couple die sets, Painted Labels & Poppies Moments, that coordinate with this set.  If you are following the blog hop order, you have just come from the very talented Jay Soriano's blog.

I am pairing this hop with Sunday Stamps sketch challenge this week.  I sat down with this set right after last November's OnStage and created several layouts.  One was an unmounted panel, created by masking and free-hand drawing the large stem.

I decided to go back to that panel and combine it with this week's sketch.  I stamped a few more flowers and popped them up for a dimensional look.

Here is this week's Sunday Stamps sketch by Amy.

Stamps: Painted Poppies, Timeless Tropical; Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Peaceful Poppies DSP, Vellum; Ink: Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive, Pool Party, Basic Black, Versamark, Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker; Accessories: Peaceful Poppies Sequins, White Embossing Powder, Aquapainter, Circle Scissors Plus, Circles Collection Dies, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

Playing with our online Virtual Card Making Fun group, I used mood board by Butterfly Reflections, Ink and sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

Here I used the background watercolor-type stamp to color the flowers than watercoloring directly myself.  Don't miss that Grapefruit Grove is one of the retiring In Colors.
