One White Poppy

Hello. I hope you had a good weekend. I've nearly finished reading Marie Kondo's Life-Changing Magic of Tidying and it really is living up to its name. My craft room clear-out has been delayed though as she recommends starting with your clothes (you have less emotional attachment to them). I have done that and it's going well so far. I really like her folding method and it will work well in many areas.


For my poppy card I wanted to avoid the obvious and took inspiration...


...from this photo I took a few years ago. One white poppy next to its red friends. I'd never seen one before and was really pleased to spot it when I was out with Maya.


I started off by drawing the central circle using the framer stencil. I then added the poppies and leaves around the outside, masking off the centre as I did this.


I put the outside of the stencil back in place to work on the scene. A blue Post-it mask kept the ink off the white poppy. 

To finish it off I went around the edge of the scene with Distress Ink and did some faux stitching around the edge.

Tidy socks!

  5. I love poppies but never seen or heard of a White one, I did wonder where your inspiration had come from when I saw it on tv. I see you have had to adapt the recommended fold for socks, if the draw is shallow her rose method does not work!
