Create In Me A Pure Heart

Hi Friends!

I am sharing a card this evening that was designed using a digital image from Power Poppy by Marcella that was hand colored with watercolor pencils along with water-based markers.

I decided to participate with the Power Poppy “Rule of Thirds” Challenge, the Simon Says Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge and The House That Stamps Built M1320 Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge (left column down - Die Cut or Punch-Embossing- Ribbon or Twine).

To create this card:

Import the digital image from Power Poppy into a Word document or Photo Editing Software (I used the retired My Digital Studio from Stampin’ Up!). Resize the image, print out onto white cardstock and color with watercolor pencils and water-based markers.

Add a bit of shimmer with a clear glitter pen to the flower petals.

De-static the lower left corner of the panel with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment from Stamp Simply with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut the floral panel and a piece of designer paper with stitched horizontal strip dies.

Mount onto a piece of black cardstock,  and trim close to edge.  Add the strips of black twine and finish off with the looped bow and taupe button.
