Well, we’ve shown you some really outstanding new stamps this week at Power Poppy and today we bring you what is perhaps my favourite one, (though you know it’s always so hard to pick a favourite!) the very lovely, Winter Wonderland.
It showcases all that you love about Marcy’s botanical illustration into one amazing-new-collection of Christmas flowers.
Here is Marcy’s description....
Hot on the heels of designing the flowers for my recent wedding, I couldn’t help but incorporate anemones into a holiday bouquet — and what a dramatic companion they make with Poinsettia, Pepperberries, and Dusty Miller leaves! This truly joyful cascade of holiday beauty will provide your coloristas with an exciting coloring experience and unforgettable results. Mix-and-match sentiments allow for the simplest phrasing (the scripty"Joyful" is beautiful on its own) - up to multi-word stacking ("Joyful winter wishes to you”).
Isn’t this image spectacular? It really takes your breath away to see the combination of these elements together. I know it’s quite an unusual palette, but I started it all off with looking up some colours for anemones. When I saw a burgundy variety with purple centers I was sold! It was really fun to spend some time colouring!
The design is quite simple to really showcase as much of the bouquet as possible.
As you can see accents are simple sequins and some iridescent Nuvo dots. Isn’t the script lovely for the sentiment too?
Here are the Copics I used to bring it all to life.
And here are the Bloom Brigade with beautiful Winter Wonderland inspiration....
