Power Poppy Christmas Remix - Day 4

~

~

It's now the 4th day of the Power Poppy Christmas Remix Holiday Blitz!  Have you enjoyed seeing all the beautiful creations on the blog hop so far?  I know, right?!

Today we're introducing a brand new digital stamp called Winter Flora.

~

~

This is what Marcy has to say about this set:

Whimsical, wildly wonderful, and a total wow — Winter Flora is a botanical set that goes beyond. You'll love tackling this tangle of Poinsettia, Sweet Bay Magnolia, and Hellebores plus verdant bits of Holly, Pine, and Spruce, punctuated by berries and glass ornaments! There are so many ways you can take this. You can go classic red, white, and green. Think pink with various shades of pastel prettiness. Infuse warm glimmers of yellow, bronze, and gold. You get multiple versions of this bodacious border — with and without sentiments.

Well, I have to tell you that I really love this set!

I've colored up the small bouquet with a few bright pink ornaments, and used one of my absolute MOST FAVORITE Christmas sentiments EVER!

~

~

Now, I'll send you along your way on the hop.  Here are the designers participating today:

New Power Poppy digital release!

~

Hello there!  There is a new release from Power Poppy today.  Two beautiful new digital stamp sets: Hummingbird Paradise and Perched in the Orchids.  Wow, y'all!  Talk about fabulous!

~

~

Yes, it's really daunting to try and color up these images after seeing these beautiful masterpieces!

But I tried!  I used the Hummingbird Paradise with a Mother's Day message in the center of the floral frame.

~

~

I used my Copic markers for this fun frame of flowers.  Then I filled in the background, added a ribbon and called it done!

You can head on over to the Power Poppy shop or the Power Poppy blog to check out the digital sets!

Power Poppy Bowl of Beauty - a new digi release

~

Hello, all! It’s time for a brand new Instant Garden digital stamp release from Power Poppy.

~

~

Here is what the incredible artist, Marcy, had to say about this fabulous image:

The fourth installment of our Café au Lait bowl bouquets is filled with some of my very favorite plants: Hellebores, Ferns, and a luxurious Tree Peony with stems of Spanish Bluebells. Of course I had to call it Bowl of Beauty, because I know that anyone coloring this one will bring forth beautiful results. A polka-dotted vintage bowl can be done in so many sweet ways to complement the flowers.

~

I decided to use the image without the bowl for a bridal shower card, and I went with fresh, pale Spring colors.

~

~

I printed the “no-line” image on X-Press It cardstock and colored it with my Copic markers.  I used a delicate pink May Arts ribbon (EA17 4/8” x 50 y) and some enamel dots in the same pale colors as accents.

Please be sure to check out the incredible designs from the Instant Gardeners here:

• Barb Walker
• Broni Holcombe (That's me!)

• Leslie Miller
• Nancy Sheads

You can find the new digital set at the Power Poppy shop or by going to the Power Poppy blog.

Sunny Vibes Tulip - Color Throwdown #533

~

Happy Wednesday, people!  I hope wherever you are it’s warm and sunny.  There’s a little bit of a chill here in the South and I am NOT a fan!

Moving right along, it’s time for a new Color Throwdown challenge and I’m hosting this week!  The generic colors I chose are Purple, Lavender, Gray, and Kraft.

~

~

Power Poppy recently released a couple of sets of new digital images.  They are based on the clear set Natural Beauties, and they are SO pretty.  I chose to use the tulip image from the Spring Border One set.  It was a little bit of a challenge with the limited color palette, but I really liked how it turned out.

~

~

The tulips were printed on Bristol smooth watercolor paper and water colored with my Zig Clean Color pens.  Then I die cut the image, covered it with a scrap of paper, and airbrushed around the edges with the die still on.

Now it’s your turn to join us and play along!  Check out all the details at the CTD blog and also check out what the talented design team has created for your inspiration.

Clover & Pansies - a new Power Poppy digital stamp

~

It’s time for this month’s brand new Power Poppy digital image release – Clover & Pansies.  And it’s beautiful!

~

~

This is what Marcy says about this new image:

The third installment of our Café au Last bowl bouquets overflows with spring favorites. Four-leaf Clovers and their pom-pom-like flowers, Pansies in a variety of sizes and patterns, and sprigs of Forget-Me-Nots make for a rich look. Color your clovers in shades of green for St. Patrick's Day, or go for the more unique dark purples and pinks with contrasting stripes. The symbolism of the botanicals in this bouquet convey good luck, love and remembrance.

~

I wanted to keep the image large to use it for 2 separate cards.  I printed it on x-Press It paper, then colored it up using my Copic markers.

~

~

In order to use the image for 2 cards, I cut it right down the middle.  Gulp!  Believe me, that was hard to do after I’d spent so much time coloring it!  This is how the cards turned out:

~

~

~

The cut, colored image panels are popped up on foam mounting tape.

This new image is now available at the Power Poppy store and you can go to the Power Poppy blog to see the list of designers posting a creation using this awesome new image!

My Favorite Pair - a new Power Poppy digital image

~

Hello, all!  I’m here today to introduce you to a brand new beautiful digital image from Power Poppy, called My Favorite Pair.

~

~

This is what the fabulous Ms. Marcy has to say about this image:

An perfectly piled jumble of ripe pears, African violets, and meandering ribbon comprise the second in my series of vintage café au lait bowl bouquets. Think of the fun you can have with this one! As we burrow into our winter wonderlands, the freshness of houseplants in windowsills is sometimes the only green to be seen! Bursting forth with blossoms in purples and pinks, blues, reds, and whites — the coloring options are endless. This illustration comes with an alternate version with a hand lettered sentiment, and a no-line version of each complete drawing. Pick up Snowdrops and Tea Roses to complete the set, and look for another café au lait bouquet coming in February.

I know this is supposed to be a Valentine/Love image, but for me it also works for a sympathy card.  I just used a scaled down image of the sentiment from the Power Poppy Orchid Cascade digital stamp set, and I made 2 cards.

~

~

This wonderful image is now available at the Power Poppy shop, so head on over there to snatch it up.  Also, please visit the Power Poppy blog to see the list of all the designers inspiring you with their beautiful creations using My Favorite Pair

Snowy Church - Color Throwdown #521

~

Hey, y’all!  Can you believe there are only 4 weeks until Christmas??  I think I’d better start shopping!!

In the meantime, how about some more Christmas inspiration using the latest color palette from the Color Throwdown challenge?  Amy Rysavy is our hostess and here are the colors she’s chosen for us:  Silver, White, Black and Gray.

~

~

I love the monotone concept and decided it would work perfectly with this new digital image from Power Poppy – Snowy Church.  I also used the sentiment from the new Paperwhites and Juniper.

~

~

I used my Copic markers (from the C family) for the moonlit look and there is a lot of Star Dust Stickles on the moon and all the snowy surfaces.

~

~

Now it’s your turn to play along and add another Christmas card to your stash!  Check out all the DT inspiration here:

Snowdrops & Tea Roses in the Power Poppy Instant Garden!

~

~

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.
