WT338 Painted Poppy

Photo Details

Poster: Mrs Noofy

Ways to use it challenge to-day is 'paint'. My favourite paint is watercolour (the real stuff not re-inkers) so this challenge gave me a chance to really play. For the background I sprinkled salt and let it dry. Gives a nice sparkly feel. I am not sure where I got the greeting. It was one of the first sets I ever purchased but I think it was inkadinkadoo.

How very beautiful. I'll have to give the salted background another try. Yours is the second one I've seen today, and my last attempt certainly didn't look as good as either. Your flower is really lovely - wonderful drawing and painting skills.
