At Make My Monday we are still following the theme of Nature, and this week we want to see Flowers and leaves. There are some fabulous pieces of work from the DT so please pop across to the challenge blog and join in.
My card this week is quite a simple one. I had planned to give this a slightly oriental feel, but hey ho - could not find my Japanese papers, tassels or coins! So I have stuck with red and black. The image is a favourite one from Elusive Images (now Chocolate Baroque). I love the beauty of these poppies and the fact that they have seed heads as well as it gives more dimension to the image. I have coloured with Copics with several shades of red and added some orange in as well to get the richness in the colour. The centres have a little stickles added. Ribbons are from stash.
I am entering this into the following challenges:
Daisy Doodles - Anything Goes
Let's Ink It Up - Anything Goes
Paper Crafting Journey - Floral
Hook on Crafts - Something Bright
Make It Monday - Always Anything Goes
I must apologise for the fact that this is late - I have been having real problems with my broadband connection - I am now hoping it is solved after having spent several hours this morning working through all the cabling etc and found a loose connection.
I really appreciate it that you take the time to look at my blog and leave such lovely comments. Thank you each and every one of you. Hugs,
This is a FABULOUS poppy image--and I LOVE the way you've colored it! I also love the simplicity of just the red and black--it's gorgeous! :)
