I’m sharing some more colouring today and yes, more poppies too. Poppies just keep on popping up on this blog don’t they!? Believe it or not I used the same medium on today’s card as yesterday’s very bright and bold card. The colours today are still bright but are blended out to much paler shades.
I stamped the large ‘poppy gems’ stamp in versafine onyx black and embossed in clear then used zig clean color real brush pens. Yesterday I pretty much filled the petals with colour and blended one colour over another. On today’s card I started with a little pink at the centre edge of each petal and a little yellow at the outside edge and blended the two colours with water to create a softer effect.
I spied the raised panel layout on a couple of pretty cards recently and chose to do it on this one with a piece of orange fun foam. I have an even paler more pastel poppy card up next. See you soon and thanks for dropping by.
Supplies:
Stamps: Poppy gems, (PB)
Inks: Versafine Onyx Black (Tsukineko) Zig Clean Color real brush markers (Kuretake)
Cardstock: Fabriano 100% cotton hot pressed watercolour paper
Also: orange fun foam, spellbinders square die

Very pretty, I like the blend of yellow and pink so much! It looks so smooth too!
Gorgeous!…I love the “peek” of orange under the layer…the colors and blending are wonderful.

This gets a wow from me Heather, as the colours and the perfect blending of the colours is fabulous. Those Zig brush markers are such wonderful colours and look easy to use, though I think that it is your watercolouring skills making it seem simple. x
I always LOVE your cards….and this is no exception – Job well done!
Beautiful combining of the colors!!
I am truly in awe of your talent !! Do you ever do videos on your coloring ?? I really need help ! lol
Beautiful card. I like the raised-panel layout, and the coloring is beautiful.
