Fragrant Poppies

Hello,  I really need to be making a start on some Christmas cards!  I did have a little time yesterday and made a start sifting through the Christmas stamps and deciding which ones to use and then realised I'd made such a mess there was no space to do anything, anyhow, while  tidying up I came across this card that was made a few weeks ago, but never blogged - and now seemed like a good time.

The background was made following a technique in Craft Stamper a couple of years ago - a piece of fern laid on cardstock and then spritzed with distress stain - I think this article had also used the beetroot juice!  When dry, remove the fern which had acted like a mask, you can just make out the white fern shape beneath the poppy.  I've also splattered some other inks too.  The sentiment is from the same AALL & Create set.

Thanks for calling in and I'll be around soon to catch up.
