Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I wanted to use my poppy die before I put it on the shelf and I loved the
colors I used for the last poppy card, but I went monochromatic on this one, using
just Calypso Coral.
I didn't do the watercoloring on a mixed media piece and tried to add the
same background look as on my last card. It does not work as well on
regular cardstock!
I hope I can remember that!
I die cut and colored another set with yellow.
The background was in the box. I'm not sure what die was used. I'm pretty sure
it was was done by a friend. With the yellow peeking through, it made a
perfect background for the yellow poppies. This die cut fern is another favorite
die of mine.
The Group of Seven Cardmakers are showing monochromatic cards this month
so I'm adding the first card to that gallery.

Both cards are so lovely, Bonnie - but you had me at those sun-shine-y yellows! Keep them coming - I just love these pretty Poppies!

I could look at your poppies all day, Bonnie, no matter the color. The cards are wonderful.
Both cards are as pretty as punch, I love the colors on both -- bold and pretty!
Two very pretty cards but I am partial to yellow flowers. They're always so cheerful and brighten up everything!
Two more pretties from you, Bon! And thank you for another great idea for a design I can use with my corner dies! Hugs, Dolly
Two lovely poppy cards Bonnie. Both colours are so pretty. I haven't used any corner dies for a long time, so I appreciate the reminder! LOVE that honeycomb. :) xx
Two beautiful cards Bonnie. The yellow poppies are just as pretty as the coral poppies. Great backgrounds on each card. TFS
Two more fabulous poppy cards Bonnie, and I love the coral colour you used and a pretty arched die cut and dry embossing in the background, but I think my favourite is the sunny yellow and I love the yellow hexagons accompanying the pretty yellow flowers and a lovely sentiment to finish. x
They're both just as pretty as can be, but I'm drawn to those lovely coral poppies today!
Two beautiful poppy cards, Bonnie - love the corals on card one and the cheery yellow on card two!! Thanks for the reminder about monochromatic at Go7 - have been meaning to play along...
They are both gorgeous. Wish I could remember things that I learnt. I usually have to make the same mistake several times before it stays in my head! xx
I love poppies, both in the garden and on cards. Yours are really beautiful, especially the second one done in that fabulous yellow with the great balance from the corner die.
Bonnie these are gorgeous - love the vibrant colours on the yellow card. The die used on the background panel is one of the four in the set from Memory Box called Distressed Baptisia Collage
The peach coloured card is also very pretty
Blessings

Both of your cards are absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie and I can see why you didn't want to put that Poppy die away just yet! I love the soft coloring of the first card, but am totally in love with the bright yellow version...practically SHOUTS look at me!! Love them both!! Hugs. :0)
Such a great die and your designs are fab.
