Little Claire challenge and blog hop

This is my DT card for this month's Challenge on Little Claire's blog. The challenges starts today. The theme is an 'Open Theme' and there's a blog hop too!
 

 

For my card I used two stamps from Little Claire, Geranium and Pom Pom Dahlia. I used the stamps for both the main image, on the first and third panel, and also a stamped pattern on the second and forth panel. The white Tag card blank I used is also from Little Claire.
 

 

The two main images were stamped with a Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad and then coloured with ProMarkers. I stamped and coloured the images twice and then cut section from the second image and attached them to the first with foam pads. I added gold Dimension Pearls and Stickles to flower heads. I used black Peel-Offs for the sentiments.

Welcome to Little Claire first Blog Hop! For more details about the Hop and links to the other DT's card please visit Little Claire's blog.

This is my card for the Blog Hop...



The stamp I used for my card is Swirly Whirlies Poppies. I begun my stamping the image onto cream card with a dark green ink pad and also onto white card with a black ink. The image I stamping in black I then coloured the poppy heads in with ProMarkers. I added gold lines with a gold gel pen. I cut the green stamped image and the gold frame with Circle Nestabilities.



I cut out the coloured poppy heads and added them to the green stamped image with foam pads. I cut a gold and dark red circle with Lacey Circles Nestabilities. I attached all the cirlce together. On a Kraft card blank I stamped the poppy image with a dark brown ink pad. I added the cirlces to the card. To finish I added a peel-off greeting by Little Claire and gold dots.
