Poppies for a bright card



I've been experimenting with the Art and Graphic pens from Kuretake and this is something that I've come up with. I was quite chuffed that it turned out so good that I've included it here.

To Make this card your will need:

1 A5 card blank

1 length of 9mm chiffon/organza ribbon in willow

Art and Graphic pens in Olive green, Red, and Black

H2O Detailer waterbrush

Sentiment stamp

Gift tag

Pencil

Foam pads

To start with I made a very feint sketch of where I wanted the poppies to be placed straight on the card.

I then used the red pen and the brush to paint them. I put the stems in with the green pen. I stamped the sentiment over the top of the flowers.

I then painted a poppy on the tag and used the willow ribbon to attach it to the card. I put foam pads under the tag to keep it in place and, as an added bonus, this also helped to keep the ribbon on the card.
