I am so delighted to jump into the amazing Holiday Release at Power Poppy today! Marcella has already started the beautiful offerings we’re bringing to you yesterday, and today we show off Spice it Up!
I think this set is gorgeous! I love the creative way Marcy illustrated the pomanders and how fun it is to use orange in a Christmas design! I chose to use the single orange pomander and pair the depth of the orange and cloves with some soft minty greens for a nice contrast.
I die cut out the pomander with a stitched die and then also framed it up with some sage cardstock creating almost a windowed design.
I kept the accents simple yet also adding that nice punch of colour with the seambinding, twine and enamel dots.
Here’s the pile of Copics I used - oh boy that looks a bit haphazard doesn’t it? Sorry! You can tell I was rushing onto something else when I snapped that pic!
The Bloom Brigade has some more wonderful to show off with this amazing set....
