I can’t believe it’s Thursday already this week just flew by. Since it’s Thursday that means it’s time to post my project for LSS (Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff) for this week I choose to work with the beautiful oriental poppy stamp.

LO bee 5.5

Poppies are one of my favorite flowers. I have always had them in our garden in each house we lived in. Awwww isn’t my little guy cute in his bee outfit? With having a boy I really don’t have a lot of opportunity to use flowers on my LO’s so when I see an opportunity I seize it. What could be more perfect than this picture to use with flowers. To make this LO I first printed the Poppy stamp in 3 different sizes. I printed them out on a thin velum paper because it reminded me of that paper like quality that these flowers posses. After printing I colored them using Bic permanent markers (this was the first time I used just these markers entirely for coloring) I usually like to mix things when coloring. I loved the way they worked on the velum paper, the colors were clear and vibrant. After coloring all the images I then cut out each one and assembled it on my LO to see how I wanted my picture positioned. From there I added some stitching,paper embelishments and some journaling around the edges of the flowers. This stamp is a definite must have in your collection and for only a dollar how can you go wrong. If you spend just $5 dollars you will also receive a FREE stamp of your choice.
