Poppies and more Poppies!!

Hello Dear Stamper Friends:
I am bringing to you two cards that I featured at The Memory Box Spanish Blog: "A crear Se Dijo!"...for our Spanish speaking readers and followers...

Last week we had at Memory Box, a blitz week and the challenge was to create cards using only

stamps with no dies...

So these are some examples for this challenge and if you scroll down, my 2 last posts featured cards using this same stamp...to showcase the versatility of this "Luminous Poppy"!!

Being from California I love Poppies...and best of all these new stamps from the Spring collection 2013 come now in "Cling" and they are already available at most craft stores!

The technique that I used was stamping with "Versamark" ink and then coloring the images with chalks using the cotton ball tool that comes in the chalk set...and I did some piercing...

The other idea behind these 2 cards is to show you how to use:
the same colors, the same stamps, the same technique but just by changing the layout of the card you end up with 2 totally different cards...

 
So just remember the layout is a key factor in creating a card...

 
The last thing that I want to point out is the bow...

Did you noticed that it has several loops? ...I did it using the "Bow-Easy", by just wrapping around the ribbon into the template, the instructions that come with it are very easy to follow...
Very Cool craft tool to have...huh!

Ok dear followers, I thank you for stopping by and come back soon I will be presenting to you some mother's cards!!!
