Oh, Bonnie - it surely has not been used often enough around here either. Another sign of too many stamps, not enough time?
I sure am glad you reintroduced it to all of us today - as wonderfully as you've no-line colored the purples, I have to say those sunny yellows and bright reds are a gift to my eyes this morning! Both spectacular!

Nancy Penir said...

Ummm, please use this bg stamp more often, Bonnie, you are the master when it comes to coloring! Can't say gorgeous enough! And so happy to see this beauty in the Flower Challenge lineup!

Pat said...

This large poppy stamp is a beauty Bonnie, and your colouring on both is fabulous and love the bright look with the red and yellow and framed with black as well as the added white on black sentiment, then the purple one with the white and gold of the pretty butterfly and die cut sentiment, and also gold on white coordinating sentiment, and wonderful added blue watercoloured background and lots of pretty sparkle from the coordinating gems. x

Carole said...

Two stunning cards Bonnie. I like them both and the different colours make the cards so different. I like the added butterfly on second card and the vibrancy of colour on the first one. x

Cat Craig said...

Both cards are gorgeously colored, Bonnie. Fabulous bunches of poppies...and fab in purple.

Leslie Miller said...

Stunning coloring on these poppies, Bonnie! Love the brights, but also the soft no-line coloring. There's a lot of gorgeousness between these two cards. I love that you took the time to color and share them, and especially that you shared in our Double D Things that Fly challenge!

Loll said...

Both cards are AMAZING, my sweet friend! I love the first with the bright, spring colours. And your second with purple ... gorgeous. WOW! cards - both of them! Love, Lolly

Nstiz said...

Just WOW on your coloring, Bonnie! These are incredibly beautiful- both of them. Love the gnomes and that fabulous die cut embossing folder. I just added that to my wish list. LOVE that.

Gorgeous coloring with those Copics on the first card Bonnie! WOW! Love the second one too and that pretty butterfly. Great cards.

Both cards are beautiful, Bonnie! Love the bright and bold, but also the deep, royal colors set off by that beautiful butterfly are pretty amazing too

nancy littrell said...

Two Gorgeous floral watercolored and alcohol ink colored background cards, Bonnie. Loved the butterfly on your 2nd card too. TFS and describing your techniques for both beauties, my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy

Lisa Elton said...

Oh my stars, Bonnie! These are beautiful! Love the vibrant colors on the first one and your fabulous no line watercoloring on the second. Something I fail at miserably!!

Susan said...

Two gorgeous cards! I especially love the first one - those red and yellow poppies are so wonderfully vibrant and so beautifully coloured.

kiwimeskreations said...

Two amazing cards Bonnie - they are so different, it's hard to believe that the same stamp was used on them both.
Blessings

Oh my friend, these are just GORGEOUS! Your coloring is PERFECT and of course the purple is my favorite color so that particular card really spoke to me (but love them both). Hubby accidentally killed all my poppies (he thought they were weeds) so I'm in search of new plants to replant this year. Your cards have certainly inspired me to get out there this weekend and hopefully find new plantings.
Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
