The border was made by stamping the poppy several times onto the Via Brown paper. Next, I cut around the heads and sponged!
The pot and watering can are Sizzix Sizzlets! I sponged them HEAVILY! The poppies and leaves were stamped in Burnt Umber Palette Hybrid Ink onto watercolor paper. Next, I colored them with SU! Markers and blended with an aqua painter They were cut out and arranged in the pot.
The sentiment is popped. Why? Because there is a non-responsive thumbprint under it! (*insert rolled-eyes grin here!) I call this a "NRRN FIX!" Winking at you know who!!!
