Instructions: Stamp the poppy die 2 times with black ink on the light red designer paper. Cut out with coordinating die. Spritz the flowers with the Juicy Spray. Use the tweezers and wrinkle the petals of the flower and cup the center with the flower shaping kit. Layer the petals together to create five flowers. Cut out star burst centers in black card stock. Cup with shaping tools and add to the center of the flowers. Stamp out three leaves from the Daisies die on some of the light green designer paper. Cut out with coordinating die and shape with shaping kit just a little to give the leaves some movement. Next cut out a base from the dark red designer paper 8" x 4", then cut out black card stock 7 3/4" x 3 3/4" and mount on top of the red base. Next cut out 7 1/2" x 3 1/2" in the lighter red/orange and mount on the black card stock. Next cut out the lace die with black card stock and glue down on the front of the card using the dries clear glue. Next ink up the poppy border with the lemon grass ink but only ink the stem portions. If you get a little where the flower would be, rub it off. Next ink the flowers with the scarlet aqua marker and then stamp down on the designer paper panel. Use a watercolor brush and add water to the center of the flowers for the watercolor effect. Ink the edges with the vintage photo ink. Mount on a piece of the green designer paper with a slight border around the poppies. Mount in the center of the card with foam tape. Cluster the flowers and leaves around the card as shown and finish the card up with a plain cream card stock card.
