Poppy flower

I'm posting this on here so I won't forget how I did it!  LOL!

I stamped the flower with black Staz-On ink onto red cardstock, used gold Inka-Gold paint to add some highlights and added dots with a gold Pearl Pen in the center.  Each petal of the flower is cut into 4-5 thin pieces to make it look like a poppy.

 Petals are cut into about 3 pieces in this photo.

This shows the petals only cut in half.

This is after clipping them the second time.

Patterned flowers

The October issue of Cards magazine features some cards done with these flowers.   It's such a neat idea and one of those "how come I never did this" ones!

Just stamp onto patterned paper, trim close to the inked lines and add some bling or a button for the center and you can have a multitude of patterned flowers to use on your projects!

I used chocolate chip ink from SU and black Staz On.  The dark brown gives a much softer look on the papers that I used.  Of the six flowers in the bottom of this photo, the three in the top row were done with chocolate chip and the others with the black Staz-On.

This shows how different inks will work on a light blue background.

The stamp I used is one without a lot of detail so it will be simple to cut out once you get the image onto the paper.
