Another week has just whizzed by helping DD move, but I did manage some 'me' time yesterday to play with some of my new birthday goodies. This is the first inking - IndigoBlu's Poppy Meadow, this had been on the wish list for a while.
I wanted to keep it soft and feminine, but not detract from this big image. The background was made with Old French Writing repeatedly stamped in Frayed Burlap and then inked with Bundled Sage, Spun Sugar and Tattered Rose. The EF is CB Script which was highlighted with Frayed Burlap. The sentiment is TH again stamped in FB.
I have missed a few of my favourite challenges lately, so to put things right, I am entering this at the Stamp Man which is - Summer Colours and to me Poppies are Summer.
Brenda at Floral Fantasies has a challenge to show some poppies, so I am entering it there too.
I am also entering:
Patties Creations - Summertime
Stempelsonne - Summer
Divas by Design - Anything Goes
Stampin' Royalty - Anything Goes
The Perfect Sentiment - Anything Goes with a Sentiment
Everybody Art - Summer
Oldie but a Goodie - Flower Power (Lace is very old)
I would like to say 'hello' to my new followers, hopefully life should be getting back to normal, and I will try my best to keep you interested.
Thanks for looking, and have a good weekend.

Hello Avril,
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely poppy card and joining in my little fun challenge.
It looks like yet another poppy stamp that I'm going to 'need'. I think most of us poppy fanatics are marked the same, but they are such beautiful flowers.
Hope you have a lovely weekend, dare I say we actually have some sunshine today.

Hi Avril,
This is stunning, I love Poppy Meadow. You've done a fantastic job with the colouring and I love all the script in the background.
I've spent the day playing with new Ingigo Blu stamps. If you like floral stamps, then you'll love these.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend. xx
