Mixed Media Coral Poppies

 


Hello!  I’m back with another poppy design to show you as we move into Remembrance Day tomorrow for Canadians.  Lest we forget the cost of war, the loss of life....it seems especially poignant this season.  So though this isn’t a remembrance card, those poppies are a nod to all the ways we need to remember. 

This design uses all sorts of mediums, but begins with these gorgeous poppies from PaperTrey Ink called Into the Blooms: Poppies.  This time I did a coral version, starting with coral cardstock, adding Distress Ink for shading as well as Prismacolor Pencils for definition in the petals and leaves.  


For the background of this mini-slimline design, I watercoloured some shades of light green and a few soft peachy shades so that it feels like the poppies are in a field of green.   A foiled sentiment from Spellbinders  Mini Everyday Sentiments foiled in Rose Gold.  The dimension with all the layers is really great!  


Thank you for joining me today!
