Wire Wrapture: Remembering

Hello, everyone! It's time for a new challenge from the Creative Moments Challenge blog. The theme is: No Line Coloring (of course, you are always welcome to play along using the Anything Goes option). I am using an image from one of our fabulous sponsors: Sheepski Designs.

Here is my card:

I think I have only ever attempted No-Line Coloring once before and I was not really a fan of how it turned out. BUT, I think this image turned out quite lovely, if I do say so myself! My stems need a little work, but the poppies themselves are gorgeous!! (Most of that goes to the artist, Andrea, as the image itself is just stunning!) I wanted a bold background that matched the colors in the image, so I created my own using a poppy layering stamp set from Hero Arts. Even though most of it is covered up, I think it makes the perfect background. I used some oldie but goodie embellishments: a bit of dark green mulberry paper to mat my image panel, a small piece of red ribbon that was just the right size AND finishes up the roll, and some tiny rhinestone gems. The image is definitely the star of the show and I didn't want the embellishments to take away from its beauty. I added a "thinking of you sentiment' so it can be used for a variety of occasions.

You have all month to play along. So, get inky and link up your creation; I can't wait to see what you create!
