Clean & Simple Sketch FTL 132

I bought this stamp from QVC a few weeks ago. Mandi told me about a sale which was in progress and so I took a look and really fancied this poppy pod image. It is actually quite large, this is the largest square card you can make from a sheet of A4.
I stamped it with Soft Suede ink and then embossed the image with clear embossing powder, then  over-painted with a little Green Patina Perfect Pearls. using a water brush. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.
The paper is My Mind's Eye and a simple ribbon treatment finishes it off.

    This is beautiful - I love the texture on the poppies. (I REALLY need to learn how to emboss).

    Oh this image can be used in so many ways I think. Love the ribbon and scant use of ds paper. Great for us to be inspired. Thanks for the 7th challenge.

    Chrissie is this a Marion Emberson set of stamps from QVC? I have fallen in love with her dandelion stamps and am going to get them in the next few days.
    Stunning card:-)

    I love this! These are my favourite colours and the poppy pod stamp is a very striking image. I have no idea what Green Patina Perfect Pearls is but it sounds very interesting and I love the effect you've created with it.

    Thank you so much for saying such lovely things about my cards. I really appreciate it.
