Golden poppies

img_7475card50

I spent some more time playing with Poppy Patch and watercolour pencils recently.  I actually started a while ago but never spent long on the colouring, just picked up where I left off when I had the chance.  I realise the arrangement of the poppies is not that different from the last poppy card, but I have used a square this time with the poppies overflowing on either side.

Although it might look like I did a bit of masking for this card I did not.  I stamped two poppies and a bud directly on the white square and then stamped the other poppies on a separate piece of white, cut them out and then arranged them overlapping the others.   My sky is sponged Bashful Blue.

Thanks for dropping in,  I hope you are enjoying the sunshine where you are,  it has shone here every day this week and the snow is gone!

Supplies:

Stamps: Poppy Patch (Flourishes)
Inks: Basic Black, Bashful Blue,
Cardstock: Whisper white, Confetti White, Summer Sun
Also:  Gold grosgrain  ribbon, black satin ribbon, Faber-Castell Watercolour pencils, blender pen
