Greetings lovely ones! I am bringing you a new offering from Power Poppy today that’s all heart. Marcy has remixed this lovely image from her old polymer set Folk Heart as a new offering who’s sales will go to support Ukraine, it’s called Peace Offering. The folk art images are based on European folk art style that evoke a very touching historical feel.
I’ve created this quaint little vase of flowers by printing the image using a light colour of ink and colouring with Copics. For the background I watercoloured Cobolt Blue and New Gamboge from Daniel Smith in an ombre style to mimic the Ukrainian flag. Those primary colours really pop!
I’ve also mirrored the background style in the sentiment letters for a simple tie-in that makes the design cohesive.
My heart is heavy for many who are suffering, at risk or fleeing Ukraine. We have many connections to people in our Conference of Churches who are in the midst of the warzone, providing relief for refugees, or for people on the ground. And I’m so prayerful for a peaceful resolution soon for our brothers and sisters there.
In addition to the other FREE sunflowers for Ukraine digis Marcy is offering right now, she is kindly donating 100% of the sales of this $5 digi set to Sunflower of Peace, a non-profit organization committed to helping Ukrainians affected by the Russian military invasion with medical and humanitarian aid. It is a USA-based 501(c)(3), working with a global network of established organizations and institutions that are committed to helping Ukraine in the current situation.
Several of our design team are joining in with inspiration using this set, so please do visit them!
