RESISTANCE IS FUTILE




Resist technique using the Poppy Harlequin stamps
The poppy seedheads and butterfly were stamped in blue and embossed with clear embossing powder, I then painted a wash over it all and painted the poppy heads with gold and bronze mica paints. The poppy was then layered first onto blue then gold card.
The scroll layer was stamped with 3 colours and embossed with clear powder again.
The blue word layer was stamped with versamark and brayered, then layered onto gold card.
The pale layer was painted with Mica paints onto glossy paper for a sheen, and the last layer was daubed with Gold and red paint onto a black card to give a metalic look.
The final touch is a flower embossed with a pearl embossing powder onto velum, a silver punched flower, with a pink gem in the centre.
