Instructions: 

Decoupage your papers to your canvas, while allowing it to dry stamp your mulberry paper with stamp. Adhere mulberry paper to canvas and beginning unraveling green twine to look like poppy stems and grass. Fill bottle with seeds and seal with cork and string....a little paper tag or end of a brad will make this look more authentique. 

Now comes the fun part..taking my Makin's® Clay Mixing Ruler™, I mixed the Merlot clay E with the Red in F. I did this 3 times giving me a variety of petals sizes.

I then took half of a mixed ball, peeled it across the palm of my hand forming a flouncy petal.

I then took a small amount of black clay and smeared that in the petal as well. 

Taking 4-5 petals , attach to a base ball of clay, add tiny little balls of black to flower centers. 

After I made my Makin's Clay® poppy flowers, I glued them with super glue to my canvas.
