I used my Altenew alcohol markers to color the image. Just 2 shades for red (velvet and crismon) and 2 shades for green (bamboo and forest glades). Then I used my prismacolor pencils to deepen up the shadows and a white pastel pencil to add some highlights.
Make sure to check out the video above for a step by step tutorial on coloring everything.

Vicky Papaioannou <– you are here
I love Poppies, and again Altenew and you have a perfect one!!
I love watching you color . I use colored pencils and your coloring with markers has let me use the same techniques in my colored pencil class. Red poppies are one of my favorite flowers and you seemed to bring them to life. Thanks for the great videos!
Simply gorgeous! LOVE this ♥
Beautiful card! Love the design and the color.
oh so pretty, and what a fabulous new series and stamp set!!
Such a beautifully crafted card!
Very pretty. I like how you used the color pencil to deepen the shading.
Beautiful rich red poppies, love to watch you color, the pencil coloring for details is brilliant! Thanks for another awesome video.
What a beautiful poppy! Love to watch you color with Altenew
Artist Markers. The velvet and crimson are two of the prettiest Altenew reds. The colored pencil shadows add such a lovely touch to your beautiful flowers.
Vicky, such pretty red poppies. I like how one is offset! Lovely card!
I totally agree, Altenew has the most beautiful flower stamps, I think I need to subscribe! You make it all look so easy.
Very helpful Vicki
Your coloring is outstanding as always
What a beautiful card! I love the colors you chose- the black matte really makes the flowers pop!
I often feel challenged to make flowers look realistic and love your suggestion of using both alcohol markers and colored pencils to get those little extra highlights and contrasts. Thanks for a great video!
Absolutely gorgeous card, and I love how you stamped it twice to make it look like two different stamps because of the change in orientation. I love all the little details you have added, and I love the card as a whole. Just gorgeous.
Gorgeous! Beautiful coloring and composition. I love the soft blue background, it really makes the poppies pop!
Love your simple but perfect coloring on these gorgeous poppies!
Beautiful card!
Thanks for sharing…
Absolutely gorgeous card Vicky. Thank you for using traditional colours and for your great tip using the pastel highlight. Love this stamp set.
Very pretty. I like the shades of red you used.
So lovely! And I love how you incorporated your tiny “goof” into your design. Those type of things are so helpful. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with us.
Beautiful card! Thanks for demonstrating how gorgeous coloring can be without using as many colors of alcohol inks.
Fantastic card. Love the stamp set.
Vicky, such a wonderful use of the gorgeous Altenew poppy stamp. And thanks for leaving in your “goof”. I’m always getting just a drop of something left from my hands. Some of these mistakes require creativity and lead to improvements too.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful!! I love that deep red!!
I love the tip of using the white pastel pencil to highlight your flower–simply gorgeous!
Wonderful card–love the highlights and the crystals to add a little bling!
Delightful card, Vicky! Love the use of the white pastel pencil to add highlights.
Wow, stunning job on the coloring! You’ve really brought this flower to life.
This is so pretty. Love the way you colored the poppies.
Gorgeous Coloring!!!
Gorgeous card. I love the poppy and your colors and coloring are beautiful.
I love the highlighting. What a great idea to pull out the colored pencils!
Gorgeous card!
Gorgeously colored poppies, thanks for the video!
Your eye for color and balance and depth is incredible. Thank you for sharing your amazing skills.
So vibrant!
Hi Vicky – my current obsession is the gorgeous poppy and I just LOVED your very beautiful card. Thanks for showing all your different colouring techniques , markers, pencils etc. all on the same project. Love the red poppy too. My favourite colour for them. TFS.
Love how classic your poppies look – love those dimensional dark black centers!
Beautiful, Vicky! Altenew’s flowers are always lovely and nuvo drops really add depth, too. I’d love to see you bring back your flower journal. I don’t remember if you don’t already have a P flower – this one could be it!
The coloring was fantastic. You made it look so easy.
GORGEOUS red!
I just love the red poppies. Fabulous project. TFS
Such a lovely card Vicky! Your red poppy flowers are just gorgeous with the blue blended sky (loved that new ink color for this). I enjoyed your video very much and how you showed us to cover up a tiny boo boo.
Beautiful work as always, Vicky! I really enjoyed and learned from watching your video process. I especially like how you shadowed this flower with the Prismas. Sad that I could not subscribe to this latest flower, and hope Altenew will make more!
This is so pretty!
Beautiful red with the dark center. I love this!
Love the coloring on your poppy. Just beautiful!
What a Beautiful card! Thanks for the tip on covering up smudges. Something I have to do more times than I care to admit!
