Stamped/masked the 3 Flourishes poppy images in Versamark, heat embossed and cut with Nestie. Randomly painted gesso in spots and allowed to dry, then painted with re-inkers as Dawn described in this weeks TLC, using colors on Dina's warm spectrum in todays MIX challenge. When dry added touches of acrylic paint, then glued microbeads in a technique I first used for last weeks Mix-Ability challenge. When dry, painted beads with more acrylics. Meanwhile, painted a strip of orange with Fired Brick crackle paint. Stamped the SU Poppies on DP and colored with Copics.
Ran the crackle-painted strip through the chevrons EF and sanded some of the paint away (I was going for a Core'dinations-like effect with a contrasting color). Mounted all with a deep chevron piece of the same DP and a simple hemp bow onto a kraft card using Janette's lovely sketch this week. PT - 1
Thank you Dina, Dawn, Janette and Janelle for your inspiration...I couldn't do this without your nudging! Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

Poppies! Extra points for you. So glad to be able to inspire this! Loved the description of your process. I still need to do the kraft/white challenge - especially now that I know where my kraft cardstock is!

So many techniques - I love it! I'm fascinated with the painted glass microbeads - they look terrific!
