Barbara gave us the following colors for today's challenge:
Pretty in Pink
Chocolate Chip
So Saffron
Dessert: a yummy dessert. I skipped this week.
The poppy was roughly sketched in with a pencil.(If you look closely you can still see some of the lines. I don't find these markings objectionable on watercolors.) Reinkers were used to watercolor the poppy. I used brown Copics to fill in the bg since I wanted it really dark for a contrast.

The reason I love rubber stamps is because I can't draw anything! You are so talented, being able to draw this freehand and then colour it so beautifully! Such lovely soft colours!

How did you DO this? White on the brown like that, that flower is absolutely stunning! This belongs on my wall ...

I am breathless! This card--well, it shouldn't be a card! It is a work of art and should be framed. I am in awe of your artistic talents. Fabulous! Into my fave's for future inspiration. Thanks so much for playing in this week's Color Challenge!
