This month’s Build a Garden – Dancing Poppies set is gorgeous. I love everything about these poppies. I used Pinkalicious, Pink Diamond, Olive and Parrot Crisp Dye Inks to ink blend the gold heat embossed floral images. I used my Pink Diamond first to ink blend the entire blossom then added some Pinkalicious at the center or base to add some dimension to the flowers. I then inked the stem and leaves with Parrot and Olive Crisp Dye Inks.
After die cutting the poppies with the coordinating dies, I die cut 3 additional white of each flower. I used liquid adhesive to stack these up. I used the gold from the 14 Pan Metallic Watercolor Set to splatter the white background panel. I trimmed this down and mounted it with Instant dimension foam tape to a piece of Brushed Gold Cardstock.
I ink blended a piece of white cardstock using Pinkalicious Crisp Dye ink then die cut Hello using the Sweet Sentiments Die Set and again 3 more times from white cardstock. I adhered these together with liquid adhesive. I die cut the shadow from Brushed Gold Cardstock and mounted the Hello to it. I love ink blending cardstock to create colored cardstock that perfectly matches my project.
Using Obsidian Ink I stamped a sentiment from Sentiment Strips Stamp Set and die cut this using the Featured Sentiments Die Set. I like to use the Mini Blossom to die cut these smaller dies. It fits perfect on my work table.
I adhered my poppies, sentiment and sub sentiment to my background panel. This was then adhered to my mini slimline card base. To finish I added a sprinkling of Cherry Blossom Enamel Dots.

Hi April. Your card is so unique. I like ideas with slimline cards. I love that you used pink for the poppies instead of the traditional red. The brushed gold metallic card stock is a nice touch. I look forward to seeing your next card.
