Today the Power Poppy team is bringing our Christmas greetings to each of you! One of the things we’re going to do is showcase one our favourite Christmas card creations (which I’ll do in a minute). I did happen to have a new one I created the other day that I’ll show you first.
This design was actually inspired by two things, the colours from this week’s Hues to Use at Power Poppy, and the lovely Katie Sims. Katie did a card with a similar layout last week that I loved so I thought I’d incorporate it into this design. I’m using the lovely Bough Wow Wow set, and it’s all coloured up with Copics. To really accentuate the bough, I trimmed it out with a little border.
Here’s the Hues to Use graphic showing these great traditional Christmas colours...
I’ve added some snowflakes on the kraft cardstock from our fun new set, Snow Kissed because of the cool nordic feel to the set. I’ve also stamped the nordic pattern on the green layer in white craft ink.
Finished off with a wood veneer heart, a couple of sparkly enamel dots and some pretty ribbon.
Now for one of my all time favourite cards. That’s a hard choice! I finally narrowed it down to this one from 2015.
I think the combination of a fun Power Poppy sketch, the unusual colour palette, and the gorgeous Poinsettia stamp set won me over, to make it my #1.
Sending each of you much love and blessing this season. Thank you for all of your warmth, support and kind comments over the year. Praying that you will take some moments to be still, be renewed, be loved - and to love others richly over these next days. Let’s make the world a better, more creative, more loving place by our investment in it.
Here’s the beautiful Bloom Brigade with their Christmas Creation greetings for you today!
