Altered spoon

For a swap on Lotstodo we altered a wooden spoon, I don't have
many of those as moose the dog always stole them from the
washing up and chewed them to bits.
this one was " rescued" from one of the caravans.
My swap partner Julia doesn't look on here so I can safely show it.
I tried colouring the poppy but the ink ( distress) started to weep and I had to start again. is that because it's tissue paper?
