Polychromos pencils on Kraft cardstock.

Lostinpaper - Penny Black - Love Art - Happy Snippets (1)

This poppy image is so pretty and with just a little masking I could add a second flower and make the stem longer.  I thought I would be a little daredevilish today and decided to only stamp 2 flowers….   I know, I know, an even number!
