Poppy Cube.

It is time again for the midway reminder for the

Craft My Life Aug/Sep challenge.

 

The theme as usual is Anything goes.......but not cards.

 

We have a new sponsor this challenge

Woodware.

 

The DT. were given a selection of samples

to play with .

I had six cardboard slide shapes and some ribbon

amongst my goodies.

I immediately thought Cube (as you do)!

 

I painted all 6 squares with a tester pot paint in 'Dusted Fondant'.

It is a lovely delicate pale pink shade.

I used the Inkylicious  'Watercolour Poppies'

clear polymer stamps set to ink a poppy

on all four sides and one larger poppy  on the top .

I created the grass effect using Stampscapes 'Reeds 067B

over stamping several time to give a dense cluster.

Both the poppies and reeds were stamped in DI 'Walnut Stain'.

I coloured the poppies with DI 'Tattered Rose'

by  first stamping the pad onto my craft mat

and then  picking up the ink with a fine paint brush.

I looped the ribbon through the slits on four of the squares

and attached together to form a box.

The last two were then threaded through top to bottom to form

the cube.
