Framed Oriental Poppies

The Eucalyptus leaves were cut from very pale green cardstock, the rest of the leaves from white cardstock and coloured with a Promarker in Olive and Distress Ink in Forest Moss.  I used very pale pink cardstock for the Poppies and added a little black ink in the centre,  The stamens were cut from black card to which I added charcoal pollen to the stamen tips.  Once I coloured the leaves with Olive Promarker, I blended a little of the Distress Ink on the edges for a bit more definition..  I also added Distress Ink to the Eucalyptus and blended Picket Fence on the leaves.  I cut the Berry Branches from brown cardstock and used Nuvo Drops for the berries.

The background was made using Distress ink and a little water and the sentiment was cut on my Cameo.  

I also added Glossy Accents to the ladybird.
