Welcome to the Scents and Sensibility Collection Release at Power Poppy! We have some beautifully fragrant and swoon-worthy stamps to show you in the next few days!
Today we’re kicking it all of with the very lovely Lilac Time. This set contains one lilac image that you’ve already seen release in digi format...but Marcy added so much more to the polymer set that is amazing!
This particular image makes me want to sit on a porch with a lemonade and read...isn’t it a beauty? I just LOVE that pitcher of lilacs and the lemons as accent. I coloured up the scene with Copics, giving the cloth the look of gingham and then paired it all up with MME Jubilee papers. I mimicked the curve of the pitcher in the curve of the die along the left side which gives it a good sense of movement too.
When Marcy sent me the stamps for this release she tied it all up in this bit of purple seam binding...so I just had to add it to the design with a button and some twine as well. I stamped the sentiment with half along the top and the half along the bottom. Loving how dreamy this feels!
Here’s the Copics I used...yeah quite a few, but it was worth it.

Christine, it's a beautiful card! Your green patterned paper with the white curved card stock along the side is the perfect compliment to the open book and ewer of lilacs -- ah spring and the soft scents of lilac. Some love lavender, but for me, lilac every time!

Oh My! Where to I start?? Loving that curvy panel, love the way you've done the sentiment, the colouring as always is amazing and you made the blanket checked - oh my gosh that is just so cool!!! :)
Mercy....this just leaps off the screen. I LOVE the vibrant colors you used (and I don't think you can ever use too many Copics....lol) and the wonderful layout. You really made this image shine, Christine! :)
