I hope you'll find time to check out the reminder post on the challenge blog to see the beautiful poppy cards from our Designers, and from our incredibly talented Guest Designer, Rachel. Then come join us! Challenge is open until end of day, April 24th.
I used a fairly new poppy die from Penny Black to create my card. Die-cut from mixed media paper and watercoloured with distress inks, these flowers were easy to do. Masked my card front on two sides and then sponged more of the same green ink, starting at the corner (darker) and fading out as I worked towards the center. A fun, easy and CAS card!
Here's a close-up ...

What a pretty card Loll....The vibrant pink against the fresh green looks stunning x. Love your water colouring, the masking and the way you stamped the sentiment in the green....A real CAS beauty x
Loll, your poppies are watercolored so beautifully. Love the sponged background in green with your pretty pink poppies.
Beautiful colour scheme - love the pink with that shade of green. And I love the way you just sponged the one corner in the masked area. So glad you did the poppies challenge as I love poppies too.
Your pink poppies are so gorgeous, Loll! I love how you created dimension on the flower petals with your DI's, and your sponged background is so pretty! The recipient of this card is going to feel very special, indeed! Barb xx
How wonderful that this PB beautiful poppy stamp also has a matching die. I love your choice of water coloring with pink DI's and adding a sponged corner with the same green shade as your leaves. TFS my friend. Hugs..Nancy
Your watercoloring is done to perfection, Loll! I love how you were able to darken the lines of the die too- adding dimension to them. Beautiful blending on this. You said it's easy to do. I doubt I'd find it that easy to do such a fabulous job!
What a pretty card Loll! Your pink poppies just shine and I really love how you did the masked layer too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
Beautiful poppies, Loll, and I LOVE that background! A gorgeous card, my friend!
This pink poppy is simple wonderful Loll, your shaded corner is a lovely idea and the colours are sooo pretty, fabulous card
Loll, I love the colouring on your die cut, the edges pool the colour so perfectly and your corner shading is the perfect frame for this beauty :)
A really glorious Poppy and a super classic design, many thanks for sharing with us at Penny Black and More Spring challenge.

Oh my gosh, this is so very pretty, Loll. Love the poppy in pink! This card has a dreamy quality to it. So lovely.
LURVE those colours and your card.

Sponging that beautiful shade of green is a lovely background for the poppies. The poppies are purple on my computer and look gorgeous.
Your ink poppies are just beautiful Loll ..... I must confess I'm a bit of a pink girl too!
The die cut flowers look so pretty against the delicate shaded background xx
Gorgeous card. Love the pink poppies on the sponged background, so pretty.
These poppies are beautiful in pink Loll! I love pink too, but then again I love all colors. I guess I'm a rainbow kinda' gal. But pink and red are high on my list! lol I really love how you did the corner with your water color. Gives such dimension to the card. I love it! Hugs, Brenda
These pink poppies are wonderful, Loll ... the bright colour has just the perfect level of vibrancy to allow the soft delicacy and dreaminess of this lovely design to shine! Need to find some time to play along ... after all, someone(you, thank you!) did send me a gorgeous die to play with! Hugs, Anita :)
Oh, wow, this is gorgeous! Just that one inked corner takes it to the next level, as if your poppies aren't beautiful enough. Be still my heart!
What a beauty Loll - love the drama of the sponged corner that accentuates the poppy flower.
Blessings

Love the bright pink and green combo of your poppies, Loll. Wonderful blended background and fading out. xx
Really pretty in pink poppies Loll, and the green in the background is a wonderful complementary shade and love that you have matched up the sentiment. A gorgeous card. x
This card looks amazing. I love the combination of these two juicy colors. They work very refreshingly. Thank you for sharing this card.
Hugs,
