Normally, I don't have a hard time keeping secrets - I keep my lips SEALED. But when it comes to soon-to-be-released Whipper Snapper stamps, I can BARELY contain myself! Sometimes, I'm just not able to contain myself at all! That's the case for this card!
Last night I was fiddling around with some of my yet-to-be-released Whipper Snapper images, and am just thrilled with the results of my painted poppy! To finish the card, I used the "thinking of you" sentiment and bird image from the set called Sweet Expressions, which was released mid June. The swirl is from Good Times, also released mid June. But the poppy?! Well, you'll just have to wait and see what we've got in store for July!
Ooooh, I can't WAIT!
I love the flower, its so cute!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! I really want your last four sets...I've gotta get to making some samples for Lisa! And now MORE...yea! You must have been inspired by your new picture that Alan bought you. Do poppies really grown in fields like that?

That is absolutely fabulous! The flower is of course beautiful (both the image and your beautiful painting) and I love the little details of the swirls and bird in the background and the little curved banner for your sentiment! Perfection! Have you ever considered having tutorials or hints regarding painting and/or photography on your blog- you know, in your FREE time *wink*? Maybe you have and I've just missed them. Hope you and your folks are having a wonderful time!

very pretty. I have no doubt the stamps will find their way to my wish list over there at Whipper Snappers. I haven't finished paying off my installment loan for the last bunch i HAD to have.....They are lovely though.

Anna this is just fantastic! Beautiful job in coloring the Poppy! Again you've achieved the most striking dimension on a card. Way to go!

I love the poppy, I can't wait to see the rest of the set. I imagine it will go on my 'need to have' list after release date.
Your use of the stamp makes the set look very special as usual.(dah)
