ABC24R18 Birthday Poppy

Photo Details

Poster: Jo Ann F.

This week's ABC challenge is red, and I chose this poppy image from Penny Black. Working late at night, I managed to stamp the background script upside down after I had already watercolored the image and I decided to leave it be. ð

I was given a poppy plant by my aunt two years ago. I get leaves but no buds. I don't think anything is eating the buds. Darn it!!! This is a very pretty card.

Pretty card - I have done the same thing and stamped an image upside-down after it was too late to change it. Just pretend it's in another language. :-)

My eyes went straight to your pretty poppy and didn't notice the print until you said it, lol. I love print upside or right side up. I like Heather's suggestion of it is in another language, lol.

That 'differently-placed' script gets your attention, but the poppy well and truly outshines it.

My eyes also went straight to the beautiful Poppy so I didn’t notice until you mentioned it, looks stunning!

Very pretty. I have a crazy cat stamp where the text is deliberately upside down
