HYCCT1509 Flat Poppies

Photo Details

Poster: mrslaird

For Diane's challenge to make a wow card that doesn't require extra postage. I love watercolor smooshing so I hope it counts for wow. I went a little bigger than A2, but this is very flat and fits in a social envelope with just one stamp. Side note: Do they still make vellum glue dots? I couldn't find them anywhere!

Are you playing along with us? If not, you're missing out on the chance to lift the spirits of women battling breast cancer at MD Anderson, and also on prizes from your favorite crafty companies. So what are you waiting for? Go stamp something pretty!

I've never tried that technique....it looks so pretty, Paula! Your vellum with black lettering is perfect so that you see the whole smooshing effect!

I love the watercolor smooshing on this, Paula. Pretty pink with the Kraft too. Great card!

Wow! This is wonderful. I haven't tried this technique before, but your card is inspiring me! It looks great with an uncolored line image. It's so beautiful and yet it can be mailed with no extra postage. Nice! Thanks for supporting my challenge today and HYCCT.

Side note: I haven't heard of velum glue dots. I'd be interested to know if they do still exist. It sounds like an easier way to attach velum. You did a great job with yours.

Lovely feel to the poppies over the smooshed bg and I love the use of the vellum sentiment!

That bg color and technique is so fabulous, love the stamp too!

Yes, Michaels had the vellum glue dots a while ago. If not look on Amazon!

I have got to try this smooshing thing. I love the way it looks and I too have not seen vellum glue, dots, anything, anywhere.
