After searching through my large collection of flower stamps - alas not one gladiolus flower! Instead I have resorted to using an image with poppies for remembrance.
I stamped and embossed the image. Coloured with water colour pencils and Distress Inks. Highlighted with glitter pens. Framed with a dark green and used a bright poppy red card.
Hope you enjoy.

Love this collage style stamp with the beautiful poppy, Helen, great choice for this challenge! I wonder if your mind thought similarly to mine - Dame Edna loved her gladdies, ha!

What a cool image, but then I love all your images, Helen. Very pretty coloring, sponging, detailing too. This one calls out to me since I love journaling, collages, and anything vintage. Lovely. Hugz

I really admire your collection of collages. You are so good at colouring them! I too do not own a gladiola stamp and they were one of my mother's favourite flowers. I remember planting about 100 corms one year and having thrips destroy them all. Beautiful card Helen!
