Morning and I have a card using a new stamp set and a sketch I liked at Atlantic Heart. The stamp set is from Arrietty with two images and ended up making four cards with them! I coloured the image with some new watercolour pens Helen bought and didn't like, so this was my first time using them and think I need new glasses as struggling with colouring! I lightly inked a stencil from My Favourite Things in the background, dies from The Works and p, paper from Crafters Companion. Sentiment from Penny Black and ribbon from stash. I coloured the poppies the same colour I have some in the garden.
Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

Beautiful Carol love those yellow poppies, so pretty! We have some growing in the garden- never planted them so I think a bird must have dropped some seed, they appeared last year and are spreading!

Your poppy card looks beautiful with the soft stenciled background and the warm yellow tones, and the way you colored the flowers to match the ones in your garden gives the design such a personal touch; the layered dies, ribbon, and patterned paper all work together so nicely to create a polished and cheerful look.
Love that stamp! Your take on the sketch is brilliant, I love the DP and the subtle stencilling also. Thanks for the heads up about my post yesterday - definitely scheduled it for today - blogger strikes again!
The poppies look so dramatic against the black Matt and the great backing paper Carol …stunning card xxx
Beautiful card with the yellow flowers and the sun ray background, nice layout too! Glad you shared with us at Allsorts challenge.
Lovely card with a great layout. Thank you so much for joining in on our latest challenge at Let's Craft and Create. Cheryl W, DT
Pretty poppy card. The only poppies that like it here are the yellow welsh poppy and they grow like weeds, they are beautiful
a lovely stencilled background for your flowers, thank you for sharing at Crafty Catz challenge, Tilly
You could fool me about struggling with your coloring. These poppies look beautiful to me! I like the sketch too. I'm always fond of a paneled background, and the pretty paper you used for it is perfect! My apologies for being lightyears behind in my visiting again, but trying to catch up.
Beautiful coloring! The stenciled background is so pretty. I like the black accent color and pretty poppies. Thanks for sharing with A Cut Above's June Challenge. So happy to have you play along.
A lovely sketch and your stencilling and background papers set the pretty flowers off beautifully.
Sweet, sweet Poppies--love them in yellow! Mine never come back, sigh! Beautiful card and I love your double looped bow accent too! Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Double D, Bow Challenge. Donna, DT Member.
I love this, I love sunburst behind the flowers, so pretty. The softness of the designs on the background paper is amazing, beautiful card! Thanks for playing along with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (AHSC).

So pretty, xx
I absolutely love your floral card. The poppies are beautiful, I like the bright yellow blooms as they remind me of a beautiful summer day. I also like the background papers in combination with black. The bow couldn't be more perfect, I think it brings everything together nicely. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.
Hugs, Veronika

A beautifully designed card. The patterned paper in the background complements the delicate poppies well.
I love the poppies Carol, I have so many around the garden, never planted a one but the way the seed themselves is just lovely. Beautiful card. You know I really miss seeing Helens art work on FB, its a shame, maybe she could start a blog. xx
A beautiful one; love the sunny coloring! Hugs, Gerrina
