Popping in to say Hello


Enjoying so time to catch up with challenges this weekend and today I have another card for the CAS Watercolour April challenge - Poppies.... I love them and I love to watercolour.
First I stamped my image in Antique Linen DI so I could watercolour a no outline image but I left both the stamp and image secure in the Misti. After the watercolouring was completely dry I re-inked the stamp in Brushed Corduroy and overstamped the image - it's a lovely fine line stamp so the fine outline reappeared.  I added some depth with coloured pencils and a 'soft yellow' glow around one side of the flowers.  To finish I used a deep yellow card and a grey blue layer, then popped my sentiment up with foam tape.  I am also playing along with Simon Says Monday challenge - Beautiful Blooms and Stamplorations Theme & Sketch April challenge - Stamps and Watercolours.  Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it - have a lovely weekend.

  3. Gorgeous vase of poppies, Robyn. Great no line watercolouring. Leaving the stamp and card in the Misti is great to add an outline afterwards. The brushed corduroy is just perfect with the subtle colour. xx
