Lacy Poppies with Distress Oxide Background | Technique Friday with Els

[@dorothyknapp9656]

Using the white flowers on the distress oxide inks was a brilliant idea. Just a little color makes the poppies pop out of the card and no one would ever know what you did. Thanks for your nice ideas and techniques.

[@eurobren3881]

I love the poppy die. The white poppies against the oxide background is beautiful. The extra black embellishments make it pop.

[@vivianc.1403]

Beautiful card! The design team has also been making fabulous samples with this lovely die. Keeping my fingers crossed that I am the lucky winner this week.

[@pattym1560]

Card is simple and sweet and know many people who would love this one.

[@craftychris6235]

This is just a beautiful elegant card, and those Lacy Poppy dies are not only gorgeous but very appropriate for celebrating ANZAC DAY here in Australia.

[@myrnagreen455]

The poppy die has so many possibilities. It's especially lovely in white. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@maryannewillequer3305]

I'm really enjoying watching Els working with the Distress Oxides! I'm going to have to start getting some. Els' cards always look so elegant!

[@suetownsend1932]

Simply beautiful card! The Moda Scraps Lacy Poppies die set is one of my favorites because it is so versatile. I use it for thank you, sympathy, get well, birthday, anniversary cards and more!! It is also a great embellishment for framed photos.

[@primitiveseasons1]

These flowers are just so pretty and a nice compliment to the background.

[@nadyahance2186]

I am loving the kids glue and it's many uses. The card came out so delicate with the prills and distressed inks in the foreground...love, love, love.

[@maryholshouser8063]

You add so much tape to the back for your layering. Love it. I sometimes think I'm paranoid but I want to be sure that the layers don't separate - many people don't agree with me. The card is beautiful. Lovely shading and the white flowers are gorgeous. thanks for haring.

[@camimayeda8541]

Oh Els, this is simply elegant. Love the blended Distress Oxide inks on the background and the black splatter. The poppies look lovely with the black prills in the center. I will have to make a card similar to this!

[@cindybearj]

What a fun card. I like the white poppies against the Oxide Inks. I love those Oxides anyway, they blend so smoothly.
