I stamped the Poppies in Archival Black and clear embossed. Colored with Watercolor pencils and blender pen. Last added ribbon.
I was not sure what color for the pods, so I Googled and the pods were green until they open and the centers of the flowers were green. So that is what color I used. TFL

I like the idea of using the embossing powder and the watercolor pencils and blender pen look.

Good job coloring your poppies and smart to google - my tendency would be to add some red to the pods - BUT so much easier to find that are green through & through!! Beautiful sheer ribbon treatment to tie it all together.

Beautiful display of perfectly coloured poppies! I have old memories of going out with my grandmother to her extensive hillside garden and taking the seed pods off the poppies. Your card is lovely!

This is colored wonderfully, and yup, that is just what the pods on my poppies look like before opening. The sheer black ribbon is a gorgeous finishing touch.
