I hope you'll check out the challenge blog to see the gorgeous poppy cards from our wonderful Designers, and our very special Guest Designer, Rachel (Creating Paper Hugs). Then come play along. Make a CAS design with a watercoloured poppy or poppies and join us!
My dear friend, Susan, gave me this image a few years back ... yes, I've neglected it! But no more. I had this in mind when I picked the challenge. It's a vintage image with some script in the background. I stamped the whole thing in soft tan ink, leaving the background as is, and watercolouring just the poppy. I'm happy how it turned out. :)
