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.

I'm immediately reminded of our playtime together using our Poppies, Bonnie! Can you believe it's two years ago?
You have a gorgeous collection of Poppies, and I love the water-y stamping of these beauties in every color!

All three cards are so pretty - I like the first one the best.

All 3 are beauties Bonnie and I too LOVE Poppies!! I love also that you did them in 3 colors...love them all but the traditional red is my favorite. And that sentiment you used is absolutely PERFECT and I think I might need to look into that set. Hugs. :0)
Beautiful watercolouring of your poppies, Bonnie. Love the different colours, each one so perfect with the soft watercoloured backgrounds. xx
Three beautiful Poppy cards for the Memorial Day weekend, Bonnie. I love your watercoloring, framing and color choices for all 3 cards. Love and Hugs...Nancy
What a pretty poppy image Bonnie, and it looks wonderful in all three colours, and some great watercolouring of each. x

Love all of your colorful poppies, Bonnie! These are pretty. Enjoy your holiday weekend ;)

I love them in all colors. Fabulous.
What a trio of beautiful cards Bonnie - love the sentiment, and how you have left the cards so simple and elegant, letting the poppy image take centre stage.

I love seeing your watercolor, Bonnie. All three of these are so beautifully done. I’ve yet to master that skill. I also love the soft wash in the background!
Pretty set of poppies. No surprise love the blue one,
Happy Memorial Day to you.
Wow, I can see why the Altenew poppy won out, it is gorgeous! I love all the colors you have made but it is the quoted sentiment that is just perfect and so true. I'm in love with each one of these! Hugs, Brenda
No matter what color you go with this, they look so beautiful! I love that image and sentiment too. SO pretty and I love them all.

Love all those colour variations of poppies! Beautiful soft backgrounds and border strips.
This is one of my favorite poppy seed stamps. I love each of the color versions of your poppies. Beautiful card collection, Bonnie.
