Popping in with some rich watercolours paired with this lovely design from Power Poppy called Ruffled Wild Orchids. You know, in my head as I was colouring these I was thinking irises...they’re not irises....they’re Cattelya Orchids, but I gave them some deep colouring a bit like some Black Beauty Irises with tones of blue and purples, and then tones of black. I have a paint from Daniel Smith that I really love, it’s Lunar Black. It’s this beautiful shade of black with purple undertones and it’s awesome for adding shadows and for a pretty background like I added here as well.
The sentiment in the circle is from the set Loving Tulips (on sale right now!)
And a final peek at the sequins, scalloped dies to accent and ombre patterned paper to match the ombre of the watercolouring.
Don’t forget about the Power Poppy Sale going on right now. A number of items are already sold out! There are great deals on polymer stamps and many digital images as well.
