One of the things about our blog is that we, the DT, get to choose our winners each month by voting for our faves - so there is nothing random about our prizewinners!!
Our challenge is a really hard one for me - USE YOUR CURRENT FAVOURITE STAMP! How can I pick a fave from all those stamps that I possess??😟
As I simply cannot pick a fave (as each time I buy a new one it's my fave for that week- LOL) I decided to use a stamp that shows one of my fave flowers instead!
There is something about Poppies isn't there?
I opted for an orange/black colourway seen on Pinterest instead of the usual poppy red and I think it makes a change.
This stamp set is from Inkylicious inked in Carved Pumpkin and Shabby Shutters onto watercolour card.
The poppies are coloured with Spiced Marmalade and Wild Honey, with the centres spotted with Forest Moss.
I used a bit of Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, Wild Honey and Mustard Seed for the bottom of the panel.
Sentiment was a real cheapie which I have had for a while and use a lot, simply embossed in white.
2 bronze pearls and a finished card!
Please go to the challenge blog and check out the other inspiration from the rest of the DT. There are not many rules but we are a stamping challenge so stamping has to be the focal point of whatever you create!
I am at the National Championships for the entire month but will catch up with you all when I get a day off -Happy Crafting!

That stamp looks very familiar Viv, and it looks great in the rich, warm colours that you've used. It's good to mix up the colours every now and again and to try out something a little different. I adore Poppies and these are beautiful x

Gorgeous poppies and so pretty in that orangy yellow Viv, and mounted on to black makes them pop. The white on black sentiment and the bronze pearls stand out beautifully too. I hope all is going well at the National Championships. x
