Autumnal Poppies...

Hello me lovelies

 I should of been here yesterday with my Nutcrafters DT card but i was so busy that i totally forgot...ooops!! Anyhoo i will share it later on today...

 I do have another card share with you for now which i tried something a little different on it then colouring with pens also to use up some scraps of white card i always have laying around so i have been getting a little messy with my inks.
 I inked different coloured inks onto a plastic protective sleeve and then spritzed with water, then placed a piece of white card onto this watery ink surface, the effect was great and i love it...i know lots of you have been doing this for some time now but i've never been that daring till now Lol

 Anyhoo after the piece i did had dried i stamped an Inkylicious Poppy image onto it and then inked around the edge of the card, next i added some gold embossing powder and heated it...just frames the image perfectly, even if i say so myself!!
For the background i just simply stamped some gorgeous Inkylicious latin style script and embossed bits with gold embossing powder because i didn't want to mount the image on just a plain background...
Tell you what i wont waffle any longer i will just share it with you so without further ado, here's my card...hope you likey *smiles*



Products i have used...
Stamps...Inkylicious 'Poppy' stamp and 'Latin style script' stamp
Papers and card...Burnt orange and brown card {stash}
Ink...Stampin Up Pumpkin Pie and Close to cocoa ink pads
Tools...Gold embossing powder and heat gun 
Well that's all from me for now folks but i will be back later on today with my Nutcrafters DT card...
