I'm so glad to say that
Power Poppy have launched their very first challenge, "Pop Goes the World" with a lovely photo incorporating purple, orange, yellow and green for inspiration, and using one of the new digital stamps. I decided to use papers from the Lilac Avenue Collection paper pad by Kaisercraft, layered onto lilac cardstock, and with the horizontal piece punched with Martha Stewart's doily lace punch. I chose to use the gorgeous Gladioli set, coloured it with copics, sponged on some Versacolor Orange and Canary ink, and die cut it with a Spellbinders Standard Circle die. I die cut green cardstock with a Spellbinders Scallop Circle die and lilac cardstock with the largest Spellbinders Exquisite Circle, layered them all together and added this piece with foam tape. I printed the sentiment into a small circle, punched it out with a circle punch and layered it onto lilac cardstock. A lilac ribbon and bow finished it off.
Copic Colours used were: V04, V12, V15, Y11, YG11, YG13, YG17.
Thanks so much for coming to visit!
This is so pretty. I love the way you used multiple colors in your background. It really makes your flowers pop. Thanks so much for joining us over at Power Poppy.
ReplyDeleteI love that you used the glads! I hadn't realized how perfectly this image fit into a circle, but now I'm inspired to give that a try next time. What a pretty scalloped mat and papers you used, too. You did a wonderful job mixing the three colors you chose for the challenge. I'm so glad you could play with us at Power Poppy, and I look forward to seeing more from you in the upcoming challenges!
