Spring Poppies at Just for Fun Rubber Stamps

Good morning!
It's a surprisingly cool morning here in Arizona.
The weather forcast tells me it's going to be excessively HOT next week 
(like very close to 100.)
I can't really say I like the heat.
It makes one sticky and smelly!
However I can say I have been loving all the amazing blooming flowers here in the desert.
That inspired me to create this card with a wonderful poppy on it. 
I stamped the poppy with my distress inks,
and then I filled the poppy in also using the distress inks, but as a watercolor.
I love this technique.
It leaves a beautiful image.
I finished off the card with a little gold washi 
(cause I can't get enough of the gold trend right now)
and some gold embossed sentiment. 

How are you enjoying the beginning of your spring?
There will be a brand new challenge up at Just for Fun Rubber stamps tomorrow.
All I can say is it's something the "nest" in.

Have a wonderful day!
