This weeks featured stamper DJ Rants has a fabulous gallery filled with cards that have layers. I was inspired by this card: Birthday Wishes by DJRants at Splitcoaststampers
I stayed with the bird,branch, flower theme but positioned in a different orientation. I changed the lace layer into a stamped side feature in marina mist. (Panel #2). Changed my flower blossom color to Fossilized Amber (closest I could come to Crushed Curry)
I first stamped the big bold-sized poppy 4x on mixed media paper, without reinking. The two at the top are whispers of the image.
I masked the bottom right poppy, then using the French script bg stamp, I inked it in Marina Mist, spritzed with water, then stamped. Took the mask off, then using a baby wipe with Wild Wasabi, color washed panel #3 giving it a vintage look.
Using an aqua pen and more wild wasabi, I filled in the center of poppy at bottom & Top left.
Die cut the bird, branch & flower blossoms and colored with aqua pen.
Popped up the bird(panel #5) and flower blossoms (panel #6) with foam dots.
Congrats DJ Rants on being featured stamper. Your gallery has monumental amounts of inspiration!!

So very pretty. I love the image and the lovely papers. You did a great job combining four challenges, you are a challenge queen, my friend. I do good to get two or three at once and certainly have never gotten four combined. Have a great day.
