Hello and happy Sunday, everybody!
Today the Instant Gardeners from Power Poppy are so happy to introduce a brand new digital image called Sweet Pea Show! It’s fabulous!
~
Here’s what Marcy had to say about her Sweet Pea Show:
Aren’t Sweet Peas just the most nostalgic, romantic, homespun flower ever? I sure think so. I’ve created this “display” of some especially divine ones just for you — while you are coloring them up, I hope they also conjure up wonderful memories. Sweet Pea Show comes with a few Valentine’s Day sentiments, as well as a sweet little hello.
I decided to watercolor these sweet peas. I consider them a sweet and “casual” flower and so I was casual in my watercoloring technique too.
~
I cropped the image and overlaid one of the great sentiments when I printed it. Then I used my water brush and some ink from an ombre (pink to purple) watercolor stamp pad that I smooshed onto my craft sheet. I also used a couple of my Zig Clean Color pens to fill in the background and shade the blossoms a little. Then I used a black pen to outline the sentiment and to frame the piece. I LOVE this image!!
This new set of digital images is available now at the Power Poppy shop! You can just click on the graphic above or the image in the supply list at the end of this post.

I LOVE your loose watercoloring on these sweet peas! I hope I can do half as well when I get around to it. Cool way to do the sentiment. Beautiful, Broni!

WOW! Broni, when I first saw this card, I was thrilled to see the vibrant colors and how you watercolored it. You are amazing, and I love the rich colors! What a stunning card and layout! One of these days I need to break out my ZIG markers and other watercolor media and work on it more. Totally gorgeous, my friend! Hugs!

Broni this is so vibrant and cheerful. The watercoloring is fantastic, and great touch with the twine.
