One of a Kind - Color Throwdown #587

~

Hello, fellow shut-ins!  Is that how you feel too?  It's a good thing I love being at home, I guess!

It's time for a new Color Throwdown challenge!  How is that for a way to stay busy?  Here are the generic colors for this week:  Pink, Gray, Green, and Kraft.

~

~

I love the colors and I love that table setting!!

I decided I wanted to play with a recently retired Power Poppy set called Sassy Succulents.  I think it worked out well with our colors.

~

Now, since you all have extra time on your hands, how about playing along with us?  Check out the details at the Color Throwdown blog.  And be sure to check out what all the designers have created for your inspiration:

Wash Your Hands - Fun Friday with Power Poppy

~

Happy Friday!  I sure hope you are all staying home and staying safe and healthy!  

For the Power Poppy Fun Friday this week, I colored up the fantastic new Wash Your Hands coloring page that Marcella created to remind us to stay healthy, while giving us a beautiful new image to color and have fun with!  This image is available to download and color at the Power Poppy store for only $1.99!

This was so much fun to color!  If you look at this next photo at full size (just click on it), you will see that I used Glossy Accents on the lettering and on the bubbles to make them dimensional and shiny!

Cat with Blanket - Color Throwdown #586

~

Happy Wednesday, y'all!  Are you ready for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge?  Today Lisa is our hostess and the generic colors she's chosen are Pink, Purple, and White.  It's a great color combo!

~

~

I spotted the latest CAS(E) this Sketch challenge and knew I wanted to play along, so this is what I came up with:

~

~

I used a circle die to cut a stencil, then used my TE Blender Brushes and some Distress ink to make the row of circles. Then I needed a smaller image and this cat dragging his little blankie was the perfect size.  It's a retired image from Rubbernecker Stamps.  I also used the Rubbernecker Happy Birthday stamp set for the sentiment.

Now it's your turn to play along with us over at the Color Throwdown challenge.  Be sure to also visit with each of the CTD design team members and leave them some love:

Power Poppy Azaleas - and a big sale!

~

Hi, all!  I have a card to share using one of the Power Poppy stamp sets on sale starting today.  Just in case you didn't see the announcement yesterday, it's part of a huge sale starting at NOON today.

~

~

So here is my card using the Power Poppy Azalea stamp set:

~

~

So have you ever seen azaleas with those colors?  I had not until I visited a friend's house last weekend.  Around a large live oak tree are 5 azalea bushes; 4 white and 1 hot pink.  However over the years, the white flowers have evolved/hybrid into different patterns of white with pink striations and dots.  Some of the branches even have solid pink flowers among the white ones.  Just beautiful!

~

~

So of course, I had to try my hand at imitating nature!

There are quite of few of the fabulously talented Power Poppy design team members posting their creations using some of the stamp sets on sale today as well.  Be sure to head on over to the Power Poppy blog to get the links.

I'm also entering my card into this week's Paper Players challenge #PP482:
