Lydia's Mix-Ability challenge this week is Happy Little Clouds.
For our inspiration today Audrie brought us to her Nighty Night Pinterest collection, and I took this Hand-painted Silk Poppies as my inspiration.
I ran with the silk idea as well as the poppies - so, I stamped my poppies on tissue and embossed them to see how that would work out because I don't know HOW many times I've smudged my tissue crumpling it up before the ink was properly dry.
I finger-painted my clouds on the back, and coloured the poppies on the front. Crumpled it all up, and then stuck it to some white card I had coloured blue using wrinkle free distress. It's matted on black and green.
I was going to use my lovely big SNSS Happy Birthday stamp but I need to go and search my desk for it, so I thought this sentiment from Fabulous Florets made a good option b.

So beautiful! Love that you used an embossing folder for the faux silk technique!
