So, somehow, it feels a bit wrong of me to choose a poppy stamp for my entry into the Simply Less is More Colour challenge this week!
Pastel shades in a clean and simple style
Both the image and sentiment are by Clearly Besotted. I used Dried Marigold Distress Ink and Blossom, Marigold and Moss Spectrum Aqua pens, spritzing the stamps before applying to watercolour card. I gave the image a quick spritz after stamping to diffuse the colour even more. The sentiment was stamped with Adirondack Slate ink.
To finish, I mixed blue mica powder with water and lightly splattered the background.

What a beautiful effect. So clever to use mica splatters for that extra touch. This is a fab LIM entry!
