  1. 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!

  7. 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

  10. 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!

  19. 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.
