| Poppy Field |
I love poppies, and I love large floral stamps, so this stamp is full of poppies and it's huge! I stamped it once, watercolored, and cut the panel in half to make two cards - the first one is 3-1/2" x 5-1/2", and the second is a regular A2 size! So great when large images can make quick work of multiple cards - this would be a great one to cut up in squares for accent images or a grid as well.

There's a little light stenciling in the background on both panels - that is the Crocodile stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

One more poppy stamp - I took a handful of field poppies and worked them into this lovely collage design - this would be a great one to use for paper tole!

| Poppy Collage CAC Grunge Fleur-De-Lis |
Here it's colored with Copics and watercolor, and it doesn't need much else! I love how the added Copic shadows really make the frame and flowers pop. The text in the background is a collection of quotes on friendship by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Be sure to check out the other designers' blogs for inspiration - you'll find a full list of their names on the I.O. Blog! You're not required to comment on every post, but the more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win - each one of us has a $25 gift certificate to give away!

I love your poppies. I might need to buy those. They remind me of France--red poppies--never forget WWI--those who died.
