MMTPT902 Layered Poppies
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Cook22

 Jen is our Teapot Tuesday hostess today: MMTPT902 - November 4, 2025 - Flowers for Pam by Jennifrann at Splitcoaststampers

Favourite technique?? Hard to choose but definitely a background technique. I like the sanded pencil, but I went for the layered gesso - Layered Gesso Background Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers

I used a Scripture verse to stamp all over the base ( I have s different verse on the inside along with a spare butterfly,) as well as butterflies and a grid.

Flowers - also difficult to choose a favourite but poppies are definitely way up near the top. This one from Simply Sketched is coloured with Polychromos and sponged with Antique Linen. I added a corner of lace, some half pearls and butterflies to match the ones stamped on the background.

beautifully done !! All the elements make this a phenomenal card. The lace adds a touch of elegance, the butterflies are for hope, the background is gorgeous, and you did a fabulous job on the poppy flower.

beautiful card from your poppy image to my goodness all you did for the really neat background---so much to see and a tweak of this or that just adds more texture to your card

This is so pretty. I love your background and greatly admire anyone who can pull it off. Mine are always a mess. I find it hard to strike a balance between too much and too little.
