Sunday Snippets on Monday - Yellow Poppies

Evening Everyone

Welcome! I trust this finds you all well and that Monday has been a good day for you.

I have another watercolour and snippet make for Pixie's Snippets Playground - Week 155 and it's those Rubber Necker Field Poppies again ... can you tell I just love these stamps?
I just love how every impression looks so different depending on the unpredictability of the watercolour paints/inks and whatever combination of colours used. I've added a few gold sequins for a touch of sparkle. The stamped image and the piece of yellow Gelli print have been matted and layered on to snippets of grey card.
The yellow base card came from an inexpensive mixed colour pack found in The Works a very long time ago - the inside is white. The finishing touches were the orange card candy and the pre-printed gold embossed greeting.

I did intend posting this yesterday but somehow never got around to it ... not feeling 100% at the moment so not ticking much off my seemingly neverending to-do list ... sigh!

On a much brighter note, my aunt Jean and cousin Lorraine are flying over from Australia for the Christmas holiday and I'm so looking forward to seeing them. It's been 40 years since they were last here in Scotland so there's a lot of catching up to do :)

Thanks for popping in. I wish you an enjoyable evening and a good day tomorrow.

Happy Crafting,

    I love the poppy image Elizabeth, it lends itself well to watercolouring and for that we don't have to stay nicely inside the lines. Love the card too :o)

    Oh that is such a dreamy card Elizabeth! As you say, the stamp is so versatile!

    Sorry to hear you're under the weather. I've been hopping round the Playground playing catch up and commenting this morning - and it's surprising just how many of us are one or several degrees under par right now. Hope you're fully recovered for Christmas!

    Hugs

    Hope you recover in time to have a wonderful visit with your Australian relatives! Sounds like a great reunion will be ahead.

    Your card is so pretty. The gold and greys look fabulous together and your watercoloured image is wonderful!
