I love the bit of dark border around her image, and I have an old poppy stamp that I haven't used in quite a while. This time I tried something completely different for me with the stamp. First the stamp is Delicate Blossom by Hero Arts. It has two poppy bunches, and their petals are lined. I wanted to try this as a no line coloring experiment. I learned two things for my style. 1) Each section or petal had to be colored separately, or I would lose the line shape of the petal. 2. It wasn't a fluke the first time I colored it, the second one turned out just as nice. YEA!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
