Good morning, crafty friends!
I'm so excited to share with you that Power Poppy has a brand-new release, and the sneak peeks begin right this very moment! Wait until you see the gorgeousness in store for you over the next week! Better get a drool bib....just sayin'. ;)
Today the Bloom Brigade is showcasing the Poppy XL set and the Big Sexy Leaves background. Both of them are ahhhhhmazing! My card uses Poppy XL.
I stamped that big, beautiful bloom onto Desert Storm cardstock by Neenah using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then colored it with Copic Markers and added highlight accents with a white Prismacolor colored pencil. I haven't colored on kraft paper in a bit, and I thought this flower would look so pretty on it. A touch of Wink of Stella sparkle makes it a little more special.
Here are the Copic Markers I used:
How's that for not using too many colors for a change?!
Here's a peek at the inside of my card:
The patterned paper I used is from Bo Bunny's Serenade collection.
Before you head off for the day, you'll want to check out the rest of the Bloom Brigade blogs to see their fabulous creations.
