It's that time again - a new colour combo to play with over at Colour Q. And it's definitely one of my favourite ones to date (didn't I say that last week?)
I love a bit of newsprint and I had the perfect W Plus 9 set to ink up - Defining Words. The poppies are from Penny Black and have been coloured with Copics - such a great stamp if you're a Copic novice like me. It has shading so you don't have to guess where the shadows are. It was a last minute decision to chomp off that corner...and I immediately regretted it. Don't you just hate that?
I'm determined to play along with some different challenges this year. I do seem to pick the same ones from week to week, largely because of the time factor. I'm playing along at Inkspirational for the first time with this card, where the theme is 'rose' (as in the colour.)
Hope you get the chance to play along this week - looking forward to seeing everyone's creations!
Thanks for stopping by,

A beauty! Love this color combo Claire !
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Rose! Those Poppies are stunning!
ReplyDeleteI would never have know you were a Copic novice, Claire ... these gorgeous poppies are coloured so beautifully! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThe poppies are fantastic and your coloring is spot on! And funny, but after the poppies, the other thing I loved about your card is the chomped off corner! I think it's a nice touch!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Love all the white space and that curve on the corner is such a showstopper.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card, Claire! CAS design, yet so elegant too!
ReplyDeleteLove those poppies and you did a great job coloring. That red border is so pretty and the touch of newsprint makes the border pop.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful card on its own, Claire. But you have totally nailed that challenge photo. Great job.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this. It has just the perfect combination for our challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Inkspirational for our "Rose colours" challenge. Sincerely hope you will join us again soon.

Hallo Claire woooww I adore your Poppies stamp and the great colored on it sooo adorable and look so perfect colored...the newspaper print looks so fit with that flowers and you are so clever only colored some part of the flower not all also not so busy...I adore this Claire...yeah I guess you must not chomp off that edge but in my opinion it makes your card unique not always the same shape...
