Good Morning!
I have some very exciting news!
My good friend, Birgit Norton from Crafting While I Wait,
asked me to Guest Design for her lovely Bloom Challenge
Be sure to stop by Birgit's Blog to see what she has created!
I have made 3 cards!
This card uses several of the beautiful Poppystamps products:
Pinpoint Half Ring Cover Plate.
Ragged Daisy.
Nordic Flower Pots and Stems (one pot).
Diamond Sentiments stamp set.
I also used the Memory Box Poinsettia Garland Designer Paper,
MB is Poppystamps Parent Company.
Gold Mirror Paper.
Gold Embossing Powder.
Distress Oxide inks in;
Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber and Peeled Paint.
Copic Markers for shading.
Foam Dots.
Inside.
Lots of lovely layers!
Next up, I did a little water coloring!
Here I used the Diamond Sentiment stamp set to create my background.
There is a lovely little foliage stamp in this set that I stamped all over my 2x2 inch square pieces, with Versa Mark ink and then heat set the White Embossing Powder. Then water colored. I also water colored my sweet little Dogwood Blossom die cuts,
which I cropped from the vine.
Inside.
Tuxedo Black ink.
Clear Embossing Powder.
Jewels.
Poppystamps products;
Large Iceland Poppy die.
Oval Fold Frame.
Diamond Sentiments stamp set.
Sentimental Banners stamp and die sets.
Criss Cross Herts Stencil.
Memory Box Poinsettia Plaid Designer Paper.
Inside.
Tuxedo Black and Pink Pirouette inks.
Clear Embossing Powder.
Vellum.
Foam Tape.
This Bloom Challenge runs all month long, plenty of time to play along!
The rules are simple - just create a project following the theme, use at least one Poppystamps image or die, and link it up. The design we love best will receive our winner badge to proudly display on their blog, and one lucky random winner will receive a prize. You don't have to have a blog to play. You can link to any online gallery. In fairness to other players, we reserve the right to remove entries that do not use at least one Poppystamps image.
We ask that you link a maximum of 3 entries to each challenge.
Hope you join in all of the FUN and play along!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy~~
