It’s the 15th of the month and that means there is a brand new Instant Garden digital release at Power Poppy Snowdrops and Tea Roses is just breath-taking!
~
Here is what Marcy has to say about this beautiful digital image:
The first in a series of bouquets nestled inside vintage French café au lait bowls. Festive enough for Christmas cards; cozy enough for a winter’s afternoon coloring session. This scene features a trio of hybrid tea roses arranged with crisp white snowdrops and variegated holly. Be open and adventurous with your coloring, ie: berries can be white/pink/light green if you are using red roses. Holly doesn't always have to be red. Remember, we are making the picture, nature is just one of our inspirations.
Digital download includes a no line version, and two merry sentiments.
A few tea rose varieties to use as inspirations to make this bouquet especially festive: 'Bewitched' (pale pink), 'Neil Diamond' (red-and-white streaked), 'Cinnamon Dolce' (dark red with pink streaks), 'Gemini' (creamy center with coral pink edges), 'World War II Memorial Rose' (light pink with tinges of red).
And this is my version of the Snowdrops and Tea Roses:

I printed the no-line version with the sentiment printed over it in black ink. The image was colored with my Copic markers. And I added some enamel dots.
This card is also for the current Power Poppy Creative Confetti Challenge – Just Around the Corner.

You and Cheryl make me wish I'd gone with red roses. So beautiful, Broni! Love the soft highlighting on the petal tips and the shadowing behind the image. I also like how you let the sentiment overlap and added the fun and festive enamel dots. Hoping I have time to color this again before Christmas.
