Today's feature is the Poppy Field Hot Foil Plate. This intricate design features a field of poppies in full bloom perfect for creating beautiful backgrounds. It will add a touch of elegance to cards, scrapbook pages, mixed media creations and more!

The Poppy Field Hot Foil Plate looks stunning on white cardstock, adds bold elegance to colored cardstock, and creates truly eye-catching results on an ink-blended background.

On the cards below, Kelly demonstrates how to elevate your foiled backgrounds with selective coloring and ink blending.

After foiling the Poppy Field with gold and silver foils, Kelly ink-blended over the top to create a beautiful gradient background. Then she used alcohol markers to color the open flowers using colors that coordinated with the background. She also added some dot details with a white gel pen to the flower stamens.

For the messages, the words were die cut using gold and silver mirror cardstock and the Friend Words Fancy Dies. The coordinating stamped messages are from the Message Strips Stamp & Cut XL. The mirrored cardstock perfectly coordinates with the foiled background and adds even more shine to this elegant design!

Here are three more card examples to fuel your creativity from current and past Creative Team members. The creative possibilities are endless!
