Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm excited to be Guest Designing with the Inspiration Team at
Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
The theme is always Anything Goes using Penny Black products as your main focus.
The option this month is to use your favorite Penny Black stamp. That's a bit
like asking which is your favorite child! But my mind went directly to this stamp
that has been in my collection for a long time. I don't think I'd used it in over
ten years. It was time to dust it off!
I stamped it on mixed media paper with Memento Toffee Crunch ink for a
no-line watercolor look and colored with Zigs. I used a Copic Multiliner for
the centers.
I tried to plant the poppies in dirt and it didn't go well. Hence the "cover up"
piece at the bottom. It made a good place for the sentiment though.
I'm going over to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge and see what that
fabulous Design Team has done to inspire us. I hope you'll check it out too.

Bonnie, there is something so wonderful about Poppies - I love all of those in your stash, btw. Now they will always remind me of you and our Playing Cards with Friends playdate! I'm not sure I've seen this particular PB stamp before, but it is so beautiful and you've colored it so perfectly - dirt, or no dirt. I personally think that wavy border was meant to be! Congrats on being a guest designer at PBSC!

PB could not have a more talented guest designer or designer for that matter. Your coloring is always the best!

I'm so glad you dusted off your favorite stamp, because your coloring is sheer delight! I too believe the swoopy bottom was meant to be for your sentiment. Congrats on the GD gig
Poppies are my second favorite flower and I have a number of Poppy stamps including this one. I searched my blog and couldn't find when I posted a card with it. Your coloring is gorgeous, Bonnie, and I love the softness of the flowers and the background. Speaking of ground, you covered it well with that fun curved panel. I'm adding this to my list of stamps to color this summer.
One of my favorite Penny Black stamps is a large poppy stamp, but I don't have this lovely thing. It's so gorgeous with your coloring, and the wavy border makes the perfect grounding. Who needs dirt? These poppies will love on forever without it! Congratulations on your guest spot, Bonnie!
Congrats on guesting at Penny Black. Your card is beautiful as is your coloring. Love the pretty poppies and the design of your card.
Beautiful card Bonnie!
Love the layout - I'd never have guessed that you were hiding anything!
Thanks so much for guest designing for us this month!

I'm not a big fan of dirt so I like the new "improved" grounding. Your coloring is beautiful on this card and the design is great.
Great save on the bad dirt! Love the poppies - one of my favourite flowers. Beautifully coloured!
WOW! These poppies are stunning! A gorgeous stamp, brought to life by your excellent watercolor. I love the backdrop for these beautiful flowers. They seem like a solitary clump, captured by you against the stormy sky. Fantastic card.
hugs,

Congratulations on guesting, Bonnie! Your card is just wonderful. Love the pretty poppies and the background you gave them. Your cover-up looks like it was planned from the beginning!
Dirt or no dirt, your trio of Poppies is absolutely lovely Bonnie and I really do like the how you finished off the bottom with space for the sentiment! Beautifully done my friend...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
Beautiful watercoloring, the poppies and the blue background is gorgeous xx
Amazing watercolouring of this beautiful image Bonnie. Love the curved piece at the bottom ... very pretty! xx
The flowers are so beautifully coloured Bonnie and the ornate edge curved piece fnishes it perfectly and gives a lovely place to put that pretty butterfly and birthday sentiment and I ove the added piece o twine across the card too. x
Bonnie this is such a pretty card! Nicely done! 💕Sue Kment
