This month, the Progressive Challenge over at The Outlawz has given us a beautiful image by Anne Fenton to use on our projects. I'm always amazed at how different the creations are yet each one uses exactly the same image.
I loved coloring this one since the bright, orange, poppies are California's state flower and, therefore, a favorite of mine. Hence, I colored these orange instead of more often seen red. Poppies in California bloom all summer long so they always make me think of summer and summer colors.
I used ProMarkers to color the image. The black lace ribbon was in my stash, and I though it was a great complement to the warm, summer colors, as well as being something old to offset the new image.
I made the flowers by punching a piece of black, flocked paper and adding a two-layer, satin flower on top of it. I dug through my box of feathers until I found those loose bits and pieces which I gathered together and adhered behind the flower. A metal brad in the middle of the flower finished it off.

Our temperatures are going to drop today to a more manageable 99 degrees. Yesterday we hit 106! Truly, I don't feel the difference other than it doesn't get hot, hot, hot quite as early in the day. Oh, well, yesterday and today are great excuses to stay indoors and craft, right? Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
