Each week Splitcoast Stampers hosts a sketch challenge. This is created for SC218. I bought a few Magnolia stamps before Christmas and particularly liked this poppy, with the botanical, antique book plate feel. Thanks for looking.How I did it: First I used SU reinkers and an aquapainter to color the poppy, Rose Red for the petals, So Saffron for the flower center and a combination of Certainly Celery and Old Olive for the stem. For the bit of shimmer that you see in poppy leaves I brushed over the image with a bit of twinkling H20s. For the background behind the poppy image I wanted a softer look so I used SU watercolor wonder crayons in a combination of barely banana, more mustard, close to cocoa and chocolate chip. A bit of blue helps highlight the 'P' in the upper corner. I also sponged the edges a little with Vintage Photo. Thanks for stopping by.
