Hi Glenda. I must agree I also loved the colours of your poppies.
I first saw this coloured poppy earlier this year when I went to
Mottisfont a National trust property which is famous for its Rose gardens, but I must admit I think I took more photo's of the poppies.
I thought it would be fun to have a go at your challenge as I thought the colours would be brilliant for your stamp sets
Butterfly swirls and Nature swirls.
I used brilliance pads Ivy and Olive for the swirls and stamped the butterflies in Royal purple Stazon, cut them out and water coloured them using a touch of Rose madder and violet
to make a soft blend of lilac to purple. I also used crystal glitter on the wings.

Thought you may also like to see this Christmas card Glenda.
I just love this tree stamp and have used it for the past 3 years. While looking to see what corner stamp I could use I realised that the Butterfly
swirls corner stamp matched this tree perfectly.
This has made a lovely card that is easy to batch make, I have also made this card in red and purple. I simply used big and juicy pads with lots of crystal glitter, and raised one of the trees a little.
Thank you helping to make it so easy for us.
Hope you like these cards.

Emilio Lickorish Birthday Card 2011

This is the card I made for my Grandson's Birthday.

I used the Serif Craft artist for the background and figures.
The clowns and elephant were printed separately cut out and coloured in using pro markers. Then attached using foam pads to raise them a little.

I hope you liked the card Emilio.
