Happy Sunday to you all!
There’s a brand new Power Poppy digital stamp set being released today called Hops and Barley.
~
Here is what Marcy had to say about the Hops and Barley set:
Everywhere you turn these days, there seems to be an upstart craft brewery opening its doors, or a new "IPA" or "Seasonal Ale" to sample at the local pub. In the spirit of this beloved spirit, I've designed a botanical stamp set that celebrates two of the essential used in the brewing of beer: Hops and Barley. A few "hoppy" sentiments and a wise saying from Benjamin Franklin round out this set, a must-have for beer aficionados. PS: If the beer theme isn’t for you, let these two harvest plants just be a pretty botanical to decorate a masculine or fall card.
This digital release kicks off the Power Poppy Happiest Holiday 2017 collection! There will be 8 new clear stamp sets released on October 24th, with one being previewed each day starting tomorrow, and with another brand new digital set after that! What fun!!! Be sure to check out all the details at the Power Poppy blog.
Here is how I used this awesome new Hops and Barley set to create a masculine birthday card:

Isn’t that the coolest quote?!

This is so cool, Broni, and what a fun quote! Most people I would send this to wouldn't have any idea those were hops, though.
Beautiful card. Your coloring is always fantastic and fascinating.

This would be the ideal set for you if it had a little beach scene to have the beer consumed at! VERY NEAT-O! Marcy's barley looks spot on, since she got the beard long (farm girl here does remember a thing or two :). Your colors are divine and it took me a minute, but I figured out how you created the multi-colored background, which is quite attractive. No "pretty" or "beautiful" for your man card. Need to create a crazy amount of cards in the next couple days, so thanks for giving me some good inspiration to launch me into my studio. Hope you have a wonderful week -- asked my personal connection to the powers that be in my work realm for a 4 day work week, but it sounds like he is shelving it with my 3 extra paid holidays per calendar year. {sigh}. Can't blame a crafty gal for trying!

So good! I photographed some hops this summer...the plant grows in front of a graphics business in a little "tourist" town in NE Oregon. What a beautiful plant! Your card captures hops so well.
