Dancing Poppies

Hello friends!

I have a fun project to share today. 

 Today's card was created with the Altenew Build-a-Garden Dancing Poppies.

 For these brightly colored poppies, I took a different approach to color the image. I used Altenew Gouache Paint (Altenew, Scrapbook. com, Simon Says Stamp).

If you are not familiar with Gouche Paint, you are in for a treat. Check out the Gouache definition from Wiki HERE. What I love about Gouache is that they are opaque, which means, they can be re-colored and changed up the colors without mixing and blending and turning into mud.  Gouache is heavier and more opaque than watercolor, and has greater reflective qualities.

I love coloring with Gouache as the colros are much more vibrant than regular watercolor.

As you can see that the outlines of the Dancing Poppies are simply gorgeous. I didn't focus on precise coloring and let the outline speak for themselves.

Really pretty! Have not tried gouache paint but it sounds interesting (on second thought I think I have white gouache). Love how you created the wreath with the poppies and all the gold accents on the card.

Beautiful color. A different style to this stamp, so I like the ideas on how to use the stems.
