"When winter comes, many of us long to say goodbye to the chill and say hello to those cheerful and fresh spring flowers! Did you know there are lots of blooms that sprout at the end of winter (you can cheat and include early spring as well)? How about camellias, crocus, paperwhites, holly, snowdrops, or poinsettias? Let's see how you can bring these pretty little petals and glorious greens to life and enjoy this last bit of winter as well!" Click HERE to check out all the Power Poppy Winter Blooms.
I'm really into plum tones lately. I don't know why, but I'm drawn to them. So I decided to color the berries plum, and went with a "sagey" green background and base. The image is colored with Copics, and the sentiments are from the Power Poppy set Go Wild.
I added some clear Wink of Stella to all the blooms for a bit of sparkle. If you click on the images, you can see the details more clearly.
I also used one of my old Martha Stewart tag dies to add a sweet little sentiment to my bow.
And lastly, I used papers from the Pion design collection called Christmas in Norway. I love their soft vintagey colors!
Copics: Paperwhites ~ W3, W1, Y13, YR27, YR24, YR21 Berries ~ V99, V95, V93, V91 Leaves ~ YG63, YG93, YG61 Stems ~ C6, C4, C2 Background ~ E53, E51, E50
That sums up my project for today. Be sure to stop by the following Bloom Brigaders for some more inspiration. And of course, the Power Poppy Blog is always popping with inspiration.
Thank for dropping by! I'm looking forward to an inspiring 2017. I hope you'll join me!
Happy Stamping!
