Hello and Happy Friday!! Being that it is Friday, I have a Power Poppy card to share with you using one of the newer digital images called Peony Love. Now, I kind of broke the rules a bit I think because I don't know of any Peonies that are colored in the brown family, so I should probably explain...Last weekend I had the honor and privilege of taking two Copic certification classes, along with a Flowers class, taught by the super talented and equally as sweet Lori Craig. In one of the flower samples in our catalog, she colored a Zinnia with these similar colors and I fell in love at first sight. Now the Zinnia image was larger with a lot more open space, so the look was quite different, but I am happy with the colors on these Peonies as well.
I combined the Peony Love image with a sentiment from the newest digital release set called Seeds of Today since I wanted to make this a graduation card for my niece who recently graduated from college.
The rest is pretty self explanatory. Except, I must apologize for the bright pink back of the card. I ink distressed the front pink panel with Antique Linen Distress Ink to vintage it up a bit, and the back didn't look as bright until I began editing. It has since been distressed too. ;)
Now, for some more inspiration, check out the following Bloom Brigade Blogs:

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have a most glorious weekend!!
Happy Stamping!

Beautiful card base as well Tosha! I have that die but forget about it most of the time!!! It makes such an attractive base for your gorgeous wreath!
Wonderful my friend!
OOO I bet you had so much fun with Lori! And girlfriend your peonies are gorgeous! I love this tone of peachy colours with the rich depths. Gorgeous work lady!
Oh, I LOVE them in browns! This looks fabulous, beautiful all over with your gorgeous die cut background. WOW, Tosh!
Oh, Tosh, this is GORGEOUS, and I love this die! (Yes, die envy is as bad as coloring envy - hehe!) But your coloring is amazing, and I love the shade and your shading! What a beautiful color combination too, and I love how you've added the graduation sentiment inside this. What a gorgeous card for your niece, and I know she loved it! Beautifully done, sweet friend! Hugs! xoxo
I happen to love the brown tones -- so shabby and chic! And what a fun twist to use this as a grad card. Always thinkin', aren't you my friend??? Have a great weekend!
Oh what a beautiful Grad card Tosha. I love how you went over the edge with your circle. Gorgeous coloring.
Beautifully colored!!
