Turn Over a Blue Leaf

We’re back for another fantastic challenge with Power Poppy this week!  To match Marcy’s Mixtape love we’ve got a very fun Album Cover inspiration this week to get your creativity started.  

There are a million different ways you could go with this inspiration that would be really fun.  I chose to do something that would stretch me a little, and went for a Mixed-Media feel with our beautiful Instant Garden Digital set Peonies.  I printed the flowers on Cougar White Opaque and then gave them some different treatments with sponging, ink splotching, a little watercolor feel with light blues, dark blues and greys, and then adding some embossing paste through a Tim Holtz stencil allowing all of that to dry.  I printed a second peony image, colouring it up with some soft blues in Copics and added that on top of the design to give it some dimension.  Finally I finished off the colouring with a little Prismacolor pencil work in grey.   

Here you can see a close up of the different applications and the sentiment from our Polymer set Good Thinking Renewal, as well as some of the embellishments.  

I set it in the sun so that you could see the sparkle (I added some Mr. Huey’s Spray) and the pretty glitter strip made from Scor Tape and glitter.  

So jump in on the challenge!  You have a couple more weeks to finish this challenge or our Pop Goes the World Challenge and you could be in the running for Power Poppy Stamps!  And just WAIT till you see our June release!
