Painted Poppy

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I do love poppies and have quite a collection of poppy stamps and dies.

So when our craft group was trying to think of a subject for our swap this month,

I suggested poppies.  With Memorial Day coming up, it seemed fitting.

Then I had a problem of choosing which poppy stamp or die to use.

Altenew's Painted Poppy won, hands down!

I stamped and colored it in the traditional Memoria Day red poppy.

Then for my blue loving friends.

Finally in pink.  (The border is pink, but the camera seems to see red.)

I used Bristol paper for all of these.  It warped pretty bad.  I managed to get it flattened.

Note to self to used Mixed Media or Watercolor paper next time.
