Create a vibrant friendship card featuring bold multicoloured poppies on a dramatic black background with artistic white paint splatters. Using the Radiant Poppies stamp set, you'll layer colourful inks to create stunning floral blooms with leaves, then add a sentiment panel to complete your eye-catching design. This project combines watercolour techniques with stencilling to achieve a modern, artistic look perfect for showing appreciation to friends.
Cut a piece of white card stock to size for your card base. This will be used as the background for your stencil work.
