This card will be entered into the Challenges at; Penny Black, Favorite Stamp and Stamping Sensations, Animal Magic (which also includes birds and butterflies).
This has got to be the prettiest Poppy stamp ever! It is by Penny Black, the Blooming Garden set. I LOVE it! I love to water color this image, it typically comes out perfect! Designer Paper from my stash, I thought the black and white would make the beautiful poppies POP!
I cut the Painted Kindness die by Simon Says Stamp from the base of my water color paper and proceeded to water color in shades of oranges and yellows. Using the Memory Box die, Butterfly Exhibit, which was cut from black card stock, I just used the smaller solid butterfly cuts. Beautiful little silhouettes flitting about. The focus panel as been placed at a wonky angle. And a little Sheer Ribbon to tie it all together. I don't think it needs anything more, other than a good home to go to!
Thanks so much for poppy-ing in!
Enjoy~~
Another beauty my dear. You're right about the black and white, it does make the poppies POP. You colored the sentiment beautifully

Yes, this is the most beautiful poppy card ever! Your water coloring is just perfect and I love it against the black and white. Are you snowed in? I've got lots of shoveling to do today but was happy for a day at home yesterday during the snow.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Very elegant!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I love poppies as much as you. This card with the gingham paper peeking out from the back is just gorgeous. You will probably be doing a lot of shoveling today, but then you will hit the craft room again. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning and I love the way you colored the poppies. Adding the panel to that black and white pattern paper is perfect! I am always happy to see poppies as they are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteCutting the kindness out and inlaying it is fabulous and perfect for these poppies. I am beginning to think poppies are your favorite flower. Fabulous job with layout and coloring.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous. You are right, that stamp is perfect for watercoloring. And I love, love, love what you have done with that greeting. How clever and creative!! Plus, that checked background is the icing on the cake. It really DOES make the poppies pop!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your poppy stamp too! A very elegant card, superbly coloured along with the co-ordinated kindness sentiment.
