Flower Power at Just Inklined


Hurray...it's the first Monday in June, and time for our monthly blog hop!  Today you're going to see lots of flowers....great inspiration for working in your garden, no?  Well maybe.....otherwise you can always make a card, no weeding or watering needed there!  If you have arrived here from Heidy's blog, you're on the right path!  Otherwise you may want to go back to the beginning and start with our wonderful hostess, at Debbie's blog.


Poppies are a favourite of mine, and while I'm still waiting on mine to bloom....colouring this image from Just Inklined was just the thing!  You can find this Oriental Poppy image here, and because it is digital, you can re-size it, as I have done, to put 3 poppies on your card!

I've coloured the images with Tombow markers, and added some little glass microbeads for the centres.  The corner embellishments were cut on my Silhouette, painted with bronze paint, and stamped with a crackle stamp....some black gems and a touch of Perfect Pearls give them a bit of glitter.  Just a few layers and then a script stamp on the card base and I'm done.

So now, continue on down the garden path to see what's next at the talented Jeni's blog.   Ooops, she is having a few computer problems, so until that gets sorted out, you can hop along to Jak's blog from here!   Hopefully you've had a grand old time, finding a few new fun ideas to inspire you.  Happy crafting, and have a wonderful day!
