The Blossom Challenge: Clean Slate!


Welcome to a new year Power Poppy friends!  We’re starting off the new year right with a new theme for The Blossom Challenge!  January brings a lot of new starts, maybe even new creative goodies and creative juices, so we’re all about a Clean Slate this month!  Where you can show your best clean and simple designs that celebrate that simple yet graphic style that packs a punch! 

I love when Clean and Simple designs accomplish somethings really eye-catching in more simple ways, so today I pulled out a now retired polymer set from Power Poppy which showcases all sorts of fun mushrooms!  Parts of that set are also available in digi form as Mushroom Trio, Miraculous Mushrooms and Morel Standards.  I stamped the image on Kraft cardstock and then pulled out my Prismacolor Pencils because I always love how pencils look on Kraft.  


You can achieve a look that almost glows!  I always lay down a layer of white prismacolor for the rest of the colours to lay on and blend.   A simple snail die from The Greetery seemed like the perfect accent, and then a bit of ribbon adds another pop of colour but keeps it clean.  



 

Come and join us for this month’s Clean Slate!  All you need to do is create a design show casing any Power Poppy image and link it up to The Power Poppy Blog to be in the running!  

Did you know Marcy’s got a gorgeous freebie you can use too?!  Just in time for Valentine’s The Rose Digi is FREE!  It would be a beautiful clean design image to use!  More details on the Power Poppy Blog!

I am searching on the Power Poppy Challenge page and I don't seem to find how many entries you are allowed to enter for each challenge. Can you help me out with this question?
I love Power Poppy images and currently have one entry uploaded.
