Hippity Hoppity trio of Violet Layered Poppies

Just so in love with my new set of Kuretake Gansai watercolors, but I know now that I really need to spring for a full set of the Color Burst pigment powders I got to try at the rubber stamping convention I attended last month.

These Gansai colors are rather opaque and a huge improvement over my cheapy set of Canson Watercolors, but they still lack in color vividness. See the Rubber Necker card sample here using the Color Burst pigment powders.

I made this card for my blogging group team leader and friend Cindy over at  Designing Duo's to send her some hippity hoppity cheer using my new Rubber Necker set!  (Cindy, this is your fault I bought this!)

Cindy and her family has had to weather through some trials in life lately. She also was so kind and generous in gifting me this lovely RAK of yummy patterned papers and handmade card out of the blue recently! 

These days, we're all on a budget so I'm truly grateful and touched she shared her crafting bounty with me. Thank you Cindy!  

These women in the crafting community are something else, eh? :)

It just dawned on me that "hippity hoppity" is probably more appropriate for Easter related themes? I just loved how happy, cheerful and springy it sounded. 

Hmm, I have no idea if poppies really come in this color combo? 

Oh well for my temporary lapse in judgement. 

Nevertheless, it was definitely an ordeal to do VERY little and force myself to just WALK AWAY several times while waiting for each color to dry, lol. 

I couldn't resist and had to resort to one of my old fav attaching methods - the stapler, to attach my sentiment. 

Thanks for visiting!
