Poppies mini slimline

Hi friends!  I'm here with your daily dose of crafty fun.  My project today focuses on more ways to stretch your Scrappy Tails Crafts supplies.  Today I'll be using the Flower Vase Pop up dies in a new way you might not have thought about.  I also used Slimline Shadow Box dies and Popping Poppies stamp set.

Let's chat about my card shall we?

I picked out three different distress ink colors to use for my project.  Speckled Egg, Chipped Sapphire and Dusty Concord.  I grabbed a piece of watercolor paper and my ink blending tools.  I started applying color with no real rhyme or reason.  I just added patches of color, then added another and another.  I went back through a couple times until I got a nice looking blend.  I hit it with a heat tool to help the ink dry.

Next I used an anti-static tool all over the watercolor paper.  I put all of the individual flowers and leaves from the Popping Poppies set onto acrylic blocks.  I used Versamark ink to stamp the images.  I went ahead and sprinkled white embossing powder over the panel so I could see if I had any holes to fill.  I did have a few spots that were too small for the flowers or leaves so I used the little "hi" stamp from the same set.  Added white embossing powder again and melted it with a heat tool.  I added ink splatters as well with all 3 ink colors and I added white too.

Isn't it lovely?

Next I grabbed the two layering panel dies from the Flower Vase Pop Up set.  I picked the section of the paper I liked best and cut out five panels.  Then I took the smallest large panel die from the Slimline Shadow Box dies and cut a piece of white Neenah cardstock.  I glued the watercolor panels onto the white slimline panel.

I took the next larger slimline die and cut a purple panel.  I glued the white panel on top.  Then I added both layers onto a blue-green mini slimline card base.  It measures 6 3/8"x 3 3/8".

From the same Slimline Shadow box dies set, I took the hello and hellow shadow layers and cut them out.  I glued the white letters onto the blue-green shadow layer.  I added foam tape to the back layer and added it to the card.  For the finishing touches I carefully added Crystal Stickles on the white letters.  I didn't cover the entire letters.   This way it almost looks like an even skinnier word die!  A few blingy stickers and this mini slimline card is all done!
