I can't wait to show you what I made with this set!
Project # 266 of this year
MFPS June #13
  •  A2 size card 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
  • Welcome Poppies stamp used from Mark's Finest Papers & Stamps - click here to shop
  • Image and sentiment from the Welcome Poppies stamp set
  • Image colored with chalks
  • I stamped the image very lightly with a brown suede ink. I didn't want sharp, black lines, but rather more of a soft feel to this image.
  • It's hard to tell by this photo, but the image background is also lightly chalked with sunrise/sunset shades with a pink / lavender hue.
