The challenge on Less Is More is to use red, so the first thing I thought of (non-Christmas, that is) was poppies.
First, I embossed the scalloped circle with one of my Nestabilities dies. This was a new learning experience for me, and it took a couple of tries to finally get it right. I then cut another piece of cs with the same die to make a mask so I could sponge some light green around the edge. I also used the mask to stamp the flower, stem and leaf.
The poppy is colored with a Cherry Cobbler SU marker with a black center and some chunky gold glitter. After removing the mask, I stamped the vertical birthday greeting; but it came out crooked--and I mean really crooked! So I had to stamp it again, cut the strip, sponge the edges with green, tie some gold cord around it and mount it over the crooked greeting. Whew!

Great rescue with your sentiment there Doris, it would have been a shame to have to toss the whole card because of a crooked sentiment!!
Have you tried using the stamp positioning technique we posted in our first challenge?
Have a great week
