I saw the April CAS Watercolor challenge was Poppy. I have been water coloring more and I remembered this humongous poppy from Unity I have. I have been using my Spectrum Noir Aqua markers more, I thought most were used up, but I was happily surprised to see that once I sorted through them that I really still have a ton of colors. I do need to replace my blues.
Main Ingredients:
Unity Donna Downey Poppy Stamps (Rubber Cling), Unity Lisa Arana Blossoming Thoughts & Wishes (Rubber Cling)
Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers: Amber, Begonia, SUnflower, Meadow, Bud Green
Le Pen Black Fineliner
Pentel Signo White Gel Pen
Canson Illustration Paper
Lately I haven't been creating very much. Truth is, I've been very under the weather since November and last night I had my Tonsils removed. I have a stress condition and it elevated to extreme acid reflux. I thought it was just congestion from a lingering cold. Anyway, it aggravated my tonsils to the point of ulceration and they got so inflamed that the swelling never went down. I was prescribed 3 different rounds of different antibiotics, and after a follow up visit with a specialist, I was told they need to come out. So here I sit in pain, trying to create to take my mind off it. Hope your Easter weekend is better!
