On tha ball again, but really only because I have been sitting here today feeling mighty sorry for myself as OH has managed to padd on his man flu (he is such a generous sort) and its a humdinger.
At this time of year poppies and what they represent are very much on our minds so it seemed an obvious choice. I love this poppy stamp but I wanted another image behind it - I remembered this small face stamp and tried it with a mask so that just a small part of the original stamp shows. I think it is quite effective, and although I toyed with the idea of adding some extra stamping I decided to leave it very simple. The colour was added with watercolour pencils and the whole thing has been utee'd - I fully expect this to crack up and make the whole thing look more antiqued.

It's lovely Cindy, very effective. I just love Poppies.
love this
This is lovely - I've never gotten the hang of masking but the two stamps you've used work perfectly together
I find this piece very moving. One can't help but have a strong connection to poppies and what they mean at this time of the year. Gorgeous piece.
Love this one very much !!
