I couldn't wait to get my hands on this  stamp set from Stampin Up!!!   PLEASANT POPPIES.       Using Stampin Up cardstock and Ink - Gumball Green and Midnight Muse.  I created the marbling sky effect using a sponge and Midnight Muse stamp pad.  I colored the poppies with Copic Markers.

Pillowtop Technique examples

Soft Suede - Stampin Up Ink pad  & StampIn Up Stamp Set By The Seashore









Blushing Bride - Stampin Up Ink pad  & StampIn Up Stamp Set By the Seashore

This stampset is from Stampin Up - Christmas deer - The immediate background behind the deer is done by distressing white card stock with an inkpad.  The main background is a technique called pillowtop -- I have a tutorial for this on my blog.

Happy stamping!!!!!   Please post a comment with your blog so I can see your cards!!!
