Good morning from a damp foggy Fenland, I intended posting these yesterday but the weather got the better of me and it by afternoon too dark to take decent photos.
I dug out a rather neglected PB stamp to make the above for the new Penny Black Saturday challenge with the idea of following the stamping, glitter and monochrome line from their grid, but somehow some green crept in so it's monochrome'ish! The focal stamp is Penny Black Pop, Pop Poppy stamped onto a masked panel, some background stamping, sentiment from Happy Wishes and stick dots for glitter. The theme at Sweet Stampin' is Use Red, the Poppy stamp at Neglected Stuff and also Beautiful Blossoms.
More Poppies, this time for the new Snippets Playground challenge, made a while ago when I had new Penny Black stamps Poppy Promise and matching dies. No photo of the snippets I'm afraid, but the panels for the DL layers were offcuts form a A4 sheets used on a square card, I'm trying to make it a habit to cut down the offcuts ready for DL cards, otherwise they get tatty and often binned (I'll confess not the most frugal of crafters). The die cut panel is an Amazon purchase, Poppies coloured with Zig clean colour pens, a little tag stamped with a sentiment and some twine. Also linking to A Cut Above.

Fabulous poppy cards!
Two beauties Brenda
A couple of gorgeous cards - I do love a pop of poppies
Lovely cards! Bright and beautiful with the Poppies. I especially like the water color affect on the first one. Thanks for sharing your creation with us at A Cut Above's November Challenge.
2 pretty poppy cards, both totally different but equally gorgeous
Two beautiful poppy cards Brenda
I love the effect of the masked panel on the first one. I wish I could think to use that when I am struggling. It looks so good and doesn't add bulk of course. You second card is so lovely and bright and vibrant. I am not liking these cold damp days. I have to get my succulents into the conservatory soon, but time keeps running out xx
Two beautiful cards and like the colors too!
Two beautiful poppy cards. Thanks for sharing the second one with us in the Snippets Playground. See you in the treehouse for hot chocolate xxx
Brenda these are breathtaking - what exquisite cards! Totally different, apart from having poppies, but both stunningly beautiful
Blessings

Beautiful masking on the first one Brenda and I love the Poppies on the second one, gorgeous stencilled background too.
We had the first frost last night, it did look so pretty under the moonlight, do love to see it, heres to a few more much better than rain. xx
Both such pretty cards Brenda. I like the touch of green! CarolG
You've really nailed the monochrome look with these lovely cards, Brenda! I particularly love the first card - it has such a ethereal look and I really like the sentiment.
Hope you are well,
Hugs,

The poppies are wonderful!
I need to try the masking technique!
Looks simple, but very effective!
Two very different looks for you poppy cards Brenda- both gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the PB one at Sweet Stampin' ( so glad you did as this post has not appeared on my Reading List!)
Ps Marvin has had his broken tooth out- very very sorry for himself yesterday (still managed to eat !) but has bounced back to his normal waggy self today. Soft food only for 2 more days, costing me a fortune in chicken and rice! (He's worth it though)

It's a damp foggy morning at my house today, but at least no snow like they said we might get. It's way too early for that. Boy that orange card really was gorgeous. I love the orange Asian background die cut. Hope your weather has improved since you posted this. hugs-Erika
