another Poppy card

I am just loving the Shenna Douglas poppy stamps.....

I have made the background from Sue Wilson's Portuguese background ...a voyage of discovery as its the first time I have cut it...very pleased with the results.....
The poppies are coloured with aqua tints and scrunched up while wet....
Another wet day here so back to my crafting!.....

Spellbinder Fairies....

after watching the new tonic release on Create and craft I remembered that I had bought the spellbinder fairy dies...pristine in their packets so out they come......

oh I did enjoy making this with dies I already had!

Sheena Douglas stamps

I know I said I wasn't going to buy new stamps but I just loved the new Sheena Douglas victorian  ones.....they are however quiet large and do need to be the focal point of at least an 8x8 card.....
I took my inspiration from a sample I saw on create and craft......

I coloured the poppies with aqua tints after watching Sheen doing her demo on the TV.....the sentiment is a tonic die.....
Hope you are having fun crafting today......
