IC597 = be inspired by an image from the Create the Cut Etsy site
CAS428 = May Flowers
F4A377 = What's in Your Garden?
In my garden, I have Welsh poppies already blooming and my Oriental poppies are about to bloom. And for the Inspiration challenge, I chose this image.
I used the stamping / watercolouring with Distress Stains technique I learned from Heather Telford. See her SCS tutorial here.
I used a Penny Black poppy stamp and inked it with two pink stains and a green.
I ran the sentiment across the stems of the plant like the words in the inspiration photo, and added some trios of pearls like the trios of dots in the photo.

You've really captured that translucent look that poppy petals have with your beautiful watercoloring Susan! Lovely CAS card and a great take on your inspiration photo! My tulips haven't even finished coming into bloom in my garden! :-)
