**CC492 Pink Poppy

Photo Details

Poster: hobbydujour

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.

Nobody brings to life Poppies like you do, Sallie! Superb and delicate, and this card can be used for most any occasion! How versatile is that~

Sally, I have no more superlative adjectives to describe this adequately! You DREW this and hand painted it? This should not be a card but instead should be carefully framed and displayed! Holy smokes! I've never seen anyone, ever, paint like THIS one! WOW! Just WOW! You know this one is going into favorites!

Gorgeous poppy Sallie. I love the shades of colors ... so pretty and soft. Really pops against the dark brown background.

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!
