Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Today I'm showing you how mixing old stamps with new styles that come out means you can get more from your supplies.

That's what I decided to do with the Altenew Paint-a-flower Poppy stamp set, and I loved how well it came out that I used it in today's card. I paired the soft colouring with a bold colour on the background and added some soft texture to elevate the image.  Written and photos Watercoloured Poppy with textured background:  To start off, stamp the Altenew Paint-a-flower Poppy onto...
