<span style="font-size: large;">Happy, Happy Friday!!! I am so ready for the weekend, and I'm super excited to share today's card with you. It has been a LONG time since I went full blown "distress mode" on a card. Years I think. And it was so much fun!!! I have a baby shower to attend for one of my nieces this weekend, and she's from an antique loving family. Her colors were navy and gray, so I thought I'd lean towards grays for this baby card. I added some yellows to make it a little more happy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I used Power Poppy's <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/precious-baby">Precious Baby</a></i></b> stamp set. This image includes a set of baby blocks, but I didn't think they fit well proportionally on the card, so I just cut them off. Easy peasy. Below is a close up of the image.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy, Happy Friday!!! I am so excited to share this card with you today. Most of the time...seriously, almost every time...I have an idea, start to implement it, and my card takes a number of different turns, not even close to where my idea started. But today's card...went exactly as planned, and I'm so happy with the result.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I started by printing out Power Poppy's <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/digital-stamps/products/sunset-sway">Sunset Sway</a></i></b> image onto X-Press It blending cardstock. I then diecut it to the size I wanted. Then, using a clear ruler and pencil, I lightly added some blocking to the background. After I had the design I wanted, I colored the background with Copic Markers, starting with the darkest of the colors by the lines, and lightening as I went out. (Except for behind the flowers: the darkest areas are close to the petals and leaves.) Then, using my Copic 0 (blending marker) I used the wedge side to make bricks. (I learned this from Jennifer Dove at <b><i><a href="http://copicbootcamp.blogspot.com/p/boot-camp-details.html">Boot Camp</a></i></b>...so many techniques to learn there.) For the turquoise and orange background, I blotted Copic blending solution very lightly using a slightly doused natural sponge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, for the <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/digital-stamps/products/sunset-sway">Sunset Sway</a></i></b> image. I printed it out two times so I could color the flowers separately, burnish them (Click <b><i><a href="http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/2015/03/inspire-me-monday-depth-with-burnishing.html">HERE</a></i></b> for the burnishing technique tutorial I posted to the <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/">Power Poppy blog</a></i></b>), and pop up the petals on the main image. But, before I added the flowers, I stamped the sentiment, on the bottom, using the clear stamp set <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/pure-prairie-spirit">Pure Prairie Spirit</a></i></b>, and splattered some black and white acrylic paint to the background.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Below I hope you can see the dimension to the flowers and butterfly. I glued down the bases of each and added dimensional tape to the petals and butterfly wings. Lastly, I added the Versamark stamped and embossed sentiment "dear friend" from the <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/always-here">Always Here</a></i></b> Power Poppy clear stamp set, after distressing the edges, as well as all the edges of the main panel. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a CAS masculine card to share with y'all today. I've been having fun with my Tim Holtz Mixed Media #4 Thinlits. Today I used the Stones. Click <b><i><a href="http://stamptalkwithtosh.blogspot.com/">Here</a></i></b> to read about how I add them to my cards. For my sentiment, I used the Power Poppy Stamp set <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/good-thinking-love-notes-stamp-set">Good Thinking Love Notes</a></i></b>. They are out of stock right now, but <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/">Power Poppy</a></i></b> has a variety of sets that include loving sentiments. Click <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/all/love">HERE</a></i></b> to see just a few of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That about sums up my card for today. I told you it was CAS. ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello my creative friends!!! I hope you are all doing well and have been finding a ton of inspiration all around you. Before I talk about my post though, I have to just say, my heart goes out to all those in the Midwest states who are suffering such rigid temperatures. I experienced a -60 degree (with windchill) day while in college in the 1980's, and it isn't a day I would ever choose to revisit, that's for sure. I'm praying you all stay warm and safe!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, for today's card. I thought I'd bring a little sunshine and love with Spring flowers framed with a heart. I used Power Poppy's <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/natural-beauties">Natural Beauties</a></i></b> stamp set. I colored the image with Copics, and diecut a heart out of a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4" piece of cardstock. I then added bricks that I diecut using one of Tim Holtz's Mixed Media #4 Brick Thinlits. I diecut a separate piece, laid the negative over my piece of cardstock and glued the pieces inside their frames. I then removed the negative diecut piece and voila...you get a brick background. I hope that all just made sense. I also added some sweet little Clear Drops that I got from Studio Katia.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Below is a close-up so you can see the brick detail better. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you haven't stored away all your <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/">Power Poppy</a></i></b> Christmas stamp sets yet. Because some of them still have some months of use left in them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hauled out the <i><b><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/happiest-holiday-2018/products/grandmas-snowflakes">Snuggle Down</a></b></i> set along with <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/happiest-holiday-2018/products/grandmas-snowflakes">Grandma's Snowflakes</a></i></b> to make this sweet Valentine's day card. I used the plaids from the <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/happiest-holiday-2018/products/snuggle-down">Snuggle Down</a></i></b> set, and the sentiment (from <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/happiest-holiday-2018/products/grandmas-snowflakes">Grandma's Snowflakes</a></i></b>) is just shortened by isolating the top part of the sentiment. I just taped off the "at Christmas" part with repositionable tape, inked it up with Smokey Gray Versafine ink, removed the tape and stamped. I sponged on some Distress Oxide inks for the the backgrounds and inked up the stitched plaid stamp with Worn Lipstick (Ranger Distress Oxide). I love how the Oxide inks respond to water platters. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The rest of the plaid was stamped with Whisper White pigment ink by Stampin' Up. The rose was made using a Bitty Blossoms Spellbinders die, and the leaves are from a Martha Stewart punch. If you look close, you can see that I added stitching to the square background with one of the <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/happiest-holiday-2018/products/grandmas-snowflakes">Snuggle Down</a></i></b> Plaid stamps too. It's very subtle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">That about sums up my project for today. I hope you are enjoying the tail end of 2018, and that 2019 is filled with wonderful memory making moments!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone. It's been quite awhile since I've posted and I'm very sorry. Life has a way of interrupting our plans and expectations sometimes, and I haven't been able to stamp like I'd like to. But I'm back, and excited to share my creation with you today.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had fun combining two very different Power Poppy stamp sets: <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/happiest-holiday-2018/products/grandmas-snowflakes">Grandma's Snowflakes</a></i></b> and <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/o-hoppy-day"><b><i>O Hoppy Day</i></b></a>. There are quite a few birthdays that we celebrate in December, and I've been told (I don't drink beer, so I'm going according to what others have said), that beer is best when it's really, really cold. So, I thought...snow is cold...why not combine these two sets for some fun, to celebrate a friend's birthday.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I started by diecutting a piece of kraft cardstock, left it in the die, and taped it to my surface. I masked off a 2 1/4" stripe on the bottom third, and then sponged on some Whisper White (SU!) pigment ink. I removed the masking and stamped the <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/happiest-holiday-2018/products/grandmas-snowflakes">Grandma's Snowflakes</a></i></b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, I stamped the <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/o-hoppy-day"><b><i>O Hoppy Day</i></b></a> image with Gray Flannel (Memento) Ink and colored it with Copics. I used Liquid Applique for the foam, and the sentiment was stamped with Onyx Black (Versafine). Lastly, I splattered on some white acrylic paint, and voila...you can see more detail below.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">That's it for my project today. Be sure to check out the following Bloomie blogs for some incredible inspiration!!! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you are enjoying getting ready for Christmas. I actually have all my gifts wrapped and under the tree and am ready for the festivities to begin. The Leyendekker Christmas get-together is actually this very evening. It's quite a big deal because we usually have 80+ there. My in-laws are 90 and 91 years, and have 8 children who are all married. There are 29 Grandchildren and 30 Great Grandchildren with 2 on the way. And...most live in California. Only 3 Grandchildren live out of state with their spouses and kids. It can be a bit crazy. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you have the most Blessed Christmas!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't this little tree in a bucket just adorable? It's from one of <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/">Power Poppy's</a></i></b> newest Christmas sets called <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/happiest-holiday-2018/products/through-the-woods">Through the Woods</a></i></b>. I kind of did a "no-line" coloring technique. Now, it's not totally no-line because I used too dark of a gray to stamp the image. Thus the gray outlined birds, stars and white ornaments. It worked for the bucket and tree though. Below is a close up so you can see how I added White Nuvo Crystal Drops with some Cool Highlights Transparent Microfine glitter (Glitter Ritz) for some dimension. I hope you can see the sparkle.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R26_gtXSGtM/W-39HztQADI/AAAAAAAAM5c/aBePNt02ycMY9rcG__8EfCIzCJNQDCC4QCLcBGAs/s1600/TLL%2BPP%2BThrough%2Bthe%2BWoods%2Bclose.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1406" data-original-width="1501" height="598" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R26_gtXSGtM/W-39HztQADI/AAAAAAAAM5c/aBePNt02ycMY9rcG__8EfCIzCJNQDCC4QCLcBGAs/s640/TLL%2BPP%2BThrough%2Bthe%2BWoods%2Bclose.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">By sharing this ultimate close-up, you can also see my marker flicks on the branches, and where I missed some. Man, I wish my eyes could see this close up while coloring. Because the image is only about 4" high, I was doing a lot of guess work while coloring the tree. I even used a magnifier to make sure I got the black lines added correctly, on the bucket, with a multi-liner.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, that's it for today's project. </span>Be sure to stop by the following Bloom Brigade blogs for some more inspiration:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I was blessed to be able to attend <b><i><a href="http://copicbootcamp.blogspot.com/">Jennifer Dove's Boot camp</a></i></b> last weekend and <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/">Power Poppy</a></i></b> was one of the sponsors. Jennifer shared some of her techniques to color the mushroom caps, but I was unable to finish the entire image while there. So, I finished this baby up today. I combined the digital image from <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/miraculous-mushrooms-digital-stamp-set">Miraculous Mushrooms </a></i></b>with the sentiment from the clear set <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/wild-mushrooms">Wild Mushrooms</a></i></b>. Everything was colored with Copics, and then die cut with Scored and Pierced Rectangles (Spellbinders)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you ever get a chance to attend one of <b><i><a href="http://copicbootcamp.blogspot.com/">Jennifer's Boot camps</a></i></b>, I highly recommend doing so. Not only did I learn A TON, but I had a blast doing so. Everyone is so helpful and entertaining at the same time. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That's it from me for today. Short and sweet. Be sure to stop by <b><i><a href="http://Stacy Morgan">Stacy's blog</a></i></b> to see what she has to inspire you with today.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Power Poppy Release Day is finally here!!! The entire <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/happiest-holiday-2018">Happiest Holiday 2018 collection</a></i></b> is available as well as some coordinating dies!! Woo-Hoo!!! For our last little preview, we are sharing this gorgeous <b><i><a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/amaryllis-bliss/">Amaryllis Bliss</a></i></b> set. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I stamped the image with Versamark onto watercolor paper and embossed it with white. I then masked it off and added a few more stamped images. I then colored it all with my Zig Clean Color Markers and added a few splatters. I added some Glitter Gloss (Nuvo) to all the petals to sparkle it up a bit. It's a nice subtle shine irl. I'm hoping you can see it better if you click on the photos. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The sentiment was stamped onto black cardstock with Whisper White pigmented ink (SU!), and embossed with white ep. I also sponged some of the Whisper White along the edges to soften it up a bit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

Oh my goodness did I ever have THE...BEST...TIME working with the new Power Poppy set <b><i><a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/grandmas-snowflakes/">Grandma's snowflakes</a></i></b>!!! They are just super charming and they remind me of crocheted doilies. I love anything vintage, so these babies are right up my alley!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This card is super easy, and came together in an hour. I know right? That is unheard of in my world. 3-4 hours/card is usually the standard for my card making skills. But this one, designing, trial-and-errors and all...1 hour. Woot-Woot!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I started with a standard A2 size piece of kraft cardstock. I stamped all the snowflakes onto it with Versamark, and heat embossed them with Super Fine Detailed White Embossing Powder (Ranger). I then masked off a 3/4" border on each side and sponged Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink onto the cardstock. After it dried a bit, I sprinkled water on it, let it dry and removed the mask. Lastly, I used a Sakura Gelly Roll 10 pen to add some white flecks to the background, and fussy cut the individual words from the sentiment that I heat embossed in white on black cardstock.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">That's
it folks. It's almost a one layer card, but I really struggle with
leaving cards without a frame. I tried...I really did. *sigh*</span></span><br />

Have you been enjoying the Power Poppy previews the last couple of days? Well, I hope you enjoy these next ones just as much. Today, the Bloom Brigade is featuring two warm and cozy sets, and they are just super adorable and charming!! I used mainly the stripes in the <b><i><a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/snuggle-down/">Snuggle Down</a></i></b> set to make my plaid background, and I have 4 cards to share. Each one has the same plaid design with entirely different looks and feel. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I got out my Minc machine for these babies which made the plaid</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/through-the-woods/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="http://powerpoppy.com/products/through-the-woods/" border="0" data-original-height="740" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-numV6T6Zqi0/W9J3Jyz56iI/AAAAAAAAM3s/fyGSufPm-AASrAbMYtVkmXApf_BDYcewACEwYBhgL/s320/Holiday2018-Previews_ThroughtheWoods.jpg" width="259" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> super easy to replicate in different colors. I used 5 different cardstocks, three different foils, and one plaid design in which I used all the stripes Marcy included in this set. I also used the ribbon and bells set from <b><i><a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/through-the-woods/">Through the Woods</a></i></b>. I went a bit modern with my first one. The background is dry embossed to give it a knitted sweater feel with the cool turquoise/white plaid. I just photocopied my design onto turquoise cardstock and Minc'ed it with white foil. Minc'ing is great for getting fine details in images. I heat emboss too, but I can get stray flecks, and sometimes embossing powder can get overly thick. That's why, when I have very fine details like the silver bells and ribbon, and the fine plaid stripes, I go straight for my Minc machine.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I made a frame with the third color. I thought it felt a bit more rustic and masculine.

bells are on matted silver cardstock, and the plaid is on a dark gray

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!! It's day two of Power Poppy's <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/happiest-holiday-2018">Happiest Holiday 2018</a></i></b> previews and we are featuring a gorgeous new set called <b><i><a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/let-your-heart-be-light/">Let Your Heart Be Light</a></i></b>. It includes two gorgeous holly and poinsettia images that have coordinating light beams, along with 6 sentiments.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought it would be fun to use a unique fold for opening this card, so I made my folds and stamped one of the images on both ends and trimmed around the base of them. I then stamped the sentiment in the center using the Misti.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Everything is colored with Copics, and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds glitter (SU!)</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Are you ready for some previews? </span><span style="font-size: large;">We're getting ready for Power Poppy's Happiest Holiday 2018 release, and today we're featuring the super adorable and creative <a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/christmas-corgis/"><b><i>Christmas Corgis</i></b></a>. I know you know where Marcy's inspiration came from. ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love this little guy getting into mischief with a bow from a package. I can totally see my Shih poo doing this very thing, as I'm sure many of you can relate with your little "fur-babies".</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/christmas-corgis/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="http://powerpoppy.com/products/christmas-corgis/" border="0" data-original-height="740" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XqHYeE31Py0/W9D1g8kGAXI/AAAAAAAAM2g/XZLXmhAgS38T-HVDxwDBJ8j_Cmgokww2wCLcBGAs/s320/Holiday2018-Previews_ChristmasCORGIS.jpg" width="259" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">I colored him first with Copics and then added some fur highlights with Polychromo pencils. The package was all paper pieced with papers from Simple Stories' paper pack Winter Wonderland, and the sentiment was "rock-n-rolled" with two Distress Inks: Barn Door and Aged Mahogany. I also stamped a few little paw prints in the background and colored them in with Copics.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That's it for my project today, but you must check out with the following Bloom Brigaders have to share:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!! I hope your Friday is off to a great start. I have a super fun new digital image, from <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/">Power Poppy</a></i></b>, to share with you today. It's called <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/digital-stamps/products/painting-pumpkins">Painting Pumpkins</a></i></b>, and true to Marcy, it's so creative. It's my Daughter-in-law's birthday tomorrow, and her favorite color is purple. So when I saw this new digital image I immediately decided I was going to "paint" one of the pumpkins purple. Why not? It took me awhile to get the color combo the way I wanted it. The tall skinny pumpkin? Well...it started out aqua, then I tried a pale orange, and ended up with it being rose colored. It's always a process for me. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My card is pretty straight forward today. So I'm going to just give you the links to the other gals who have projects to share with you this weekend. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But before I do, I just want to let you know that we're starting previews of Power Poppy's new Christmas stamp sets on the 24th, and continuing through to the release day on the 29th. So be sure to stop by those days to see what Marcella has come up with for this Holiday season. You won't want to miss it. As usual, Marcy has some really unique, out-of-the-box sets, as well as those that make you feel all cozy.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!!! Happy Friday!!! I am currently hanging out in Atlanta with my fellow Bloomie Katie Sims, who is someone I am greatly thankful for. She is a gem through and through. Tomorrow, we are flying up to New Hampshire to meet up with another fellow Bloomie, Cindy Lawrence, to spend a few days. Am I blessed or what. She is another true blue person. Actually, the entire crew of <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/">Power Poppy</a></i></b> is some of the most delightful, kindhearted, genuine women I know, and I am beyond thankful to be a part of the PP team with all of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, with that little intro, let me tell you about this month's Power and Spark challenge over on the <i><b><a href="http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/">Power Poppy blog</a></b></i>. I am hosting it, and calling it "It's your birthday!" I'm challenging you to be inspired by the month you were born in. There could be a holiday that occurs in your month, a specific season, an event that you enjoy, your birthstone color, your wedding, a birth, whatever you can think of that is inspired by your birth month.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was born Nov. 20, so my birthday can fall pretty close to Thanksgiving. It never lands on the day, but can get within 2 days. I also LOVE...(maybe a bit <i>obsessively</i>) pumpkins. I have felt pumpkins, velvet pumpkins, metal pumpkins, glass pumpkins, ceramic ones, itty bitty ones, LARGE ones (I actually have a turquoise/gold glass one that is 16"W x 10"H. yep...). So, of course, this image, from the <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/fortunes-of-fall">Fortunes of Fall</a></i></b> set, appealed to me greatly!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I embossed the image, with silver ep, onto watercolor paper, and colored the pumpkins like some of my velvet ones, using Zig Clean Color Real Brushes. They are deep and rich in color, and are some of my favorites. The sentiment was also embossed with silver ep.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay my creative friends!! The day has finally arrived!!! All the <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/natural-wonders">Power Poppy Natural Wonders</a></i></b> stamp sets are available over in the <i><b><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/all">Power Poppy store</a></b></i>!! Do you have a favorite? A must have? Shoot...I could never choose because each and every one Marcella designs seems to fit a specific purpose at one time or another. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/cabbage-and-kale" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="https://powerpoppy.com/products/cabbage-and-kale" border="0" data-original-height="740" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-05RFIH-HYg0/W5w6ziwKKqI/AAAAAAAAM0w/9ZtiPulAzqooOfIX-sTZAj1_nppOhOe7gCLcBGAs/s320/Sept2018-Previews-Cabbage-and-Kale.jpg" width="259" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today we are featuring the <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/cabbage-and-kale">Cabbage and Kale</a></i></b> set. There are 4 varieties of cabbage/kale in this set and they are all so intricately designed. While researching the varieties on Pinterest, I noticed that many have white veining running through their leaves. And since I had so much fun coloring the <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/chrysanthemum-xl">Chrysanthemum XL</a></i></b> with my Zig Clean Color Real Brushes, I thought I'd give one of the ornamental Kales a go at this technique.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided I liked the image all on its own and framed it accordingly while adding another of the ornamental kales to the inside with a sentiment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Below you can see all of Marcy's precise details. I don't know how she does it, but I'm glad she does.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S2g5I75oFa4/W5w1ADzE1HI/AAAAAAAAM0c/yImfsGZ1yyo-P2HRb-qawsGBIShTTI8_QCLcBGAs/s1600/TLL%2BPP%2BCabbage%2Band%2BKale_close.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1563" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S2g5I75oFa4/W5w1ADzE1HI/AAAAAAAAM0c/yImfsGZ1yyo-P2HRb-qawsGBIShTTI8_QCLcBGAs/s640/TLL%2BPP%2BCabbage%2Band%2BKale_close.jpg" width="624" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For the inside, I just took one of the smaller images, placed it in my Misti and lined it up where I wanted it. I then inked it up with Crushed Olive Distress Oxide (Ranger), spritzed it 3x with my Distress Sprayer (Ranger), and stamped it onto the watercolor paper. I heat-set it with my heat tool and stamped the sentiment over the top. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Friday y'all!! Are you as ready for the weekend as I am? I hope you've been enjoying all the <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/natural-wonders">Power Poppy Natural Wonders</a></i></b> previews. Don't you just love Marcella's creativity? Each set is phenomenal, and today's is no exception. We are featuring a charming set called <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/fortunes-of-fall">Fortune's of Fall</a></i></b>. It includes 3 Fall images and 5 beautiful sentiments. I chose to work with the Zinnias. I had so much fun coloring the different vases and each unique zinnia!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My card is pretty straight forward. No unique techniques were used. I just colored everything with Copics and framed them. I did add some white highlights to the terra cotta pot and turquoise one by using a white gel pen. That's it.</span><br />

I hope you are enjoying the <b><i><a href="http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/">Power Poppy</a></i></b> Previews. I tell you, these stamp sets are so fun to work with. I just adore Marcella's unique twists to her images. Today, I'm sharing two cards that feature Ales. This set is called <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/o-hoppy-day">O Hoppy Day</a></i></b>, and it has already come in handy for me a couple of times. I chose to make my first card a Dark Ale. Now, if I'm honest, I have to tell you, about a year ago I didn't know there were much differences to beers because I don't drink them. Now, my son makes his own beer and is starting a garden to grow hops, so I know more than I ever wanted to. hahahaha </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love the bottle caps that Marcy included in this set, so I decided to
make my first card a tri-fold card and include a belly band with the
bottle cap on the front. I just adore that sentiment!!! I also stamped the barley in a pattern on kraft cardstock for the front of the card. It's so easy to do with a Misti, and if you don't have one, the stamps are clear, so it's much easier to line them up precisely.</span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For my second card I needed a lighter Ale for a Brother-in-law. I included some foam on top by adding some Liquid Applique. I thought it was a super fun and effective addition.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey y'all!!! Are you ready for some new Power Poppy stamps?!?!?!?!?!? Well, your wait is almost over. Marcella has designed 4 new releases that are like no other, as is typical Marcy, and they are unique, and oh, so special as only Marcy can do. So, get prepared to have your socks blown off, because September 15, all 4 will be available for purchase!!!! That's only 3 more days people!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/chrysanthemum-xl" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="https://powerpoppy.com/products/chrysanthemum-xl" border="0" data-original-height="740" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2KByti-Q42M/W5gx8IA5UVI/AAAAAAAAMyw/me7tY1mmw8g-Fu1fizOBxmB6qbQhQ7-KgCLcBGAs/s320/Sept2018-Previews-ChrysanthemumXL.jpg" width="259" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">Today, we are featuring the absolutely STUNNING stamp set called <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/chrysanthemum-xl">Chrysanthemum</a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"> XL</a></i></b>. It consists of a large mum that measures almost 4"x4", along with a couple of leaves, stems and beautifully fonted sentiments.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I stepped out of my Copic comfort zone, and worked with my Zig coloring pens. I have not had success with these pens until I learned that the right watercolor paper is EVERYTHING!!! Then, they are easy-peasy!!! Truly!!! I was so nervous to try, but the nerves left pretty quickly after seeing the results. I'm really happy with how this turned out, and though it took awhile to color the background and image (this card is 5"x6 1/2"), it was simple. I will list the paper and markers that I used at the bottom of this post.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I also added some acrylic paint splatters that I watered down a little bit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That's it for me today. But people, there is more inspiration to be had...just check out what the rest of the Bloom Brigade has to share today:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Friday y'all!!! It's that time of week again. Have you tried the new Alcohol Lift-Ink by Ranger yet? I purchased it awhile back and haven't had the chance to try it out until yesterday. And oh my is it fun!!! It's magical!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">These two cards are super CAS, but nothing about creating them was. I have never used Yupo cardstock before, or Alcohol Lift-Ink. And I haven't used my Alcohol inks in probably a decade. So, I had to experiment first. To learn how to use Yupo and the new Alcohol Lift-Ink, I watched Tim Holtz's video tutorial found <b><i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsTxx7YMww0">HERE</a></i></b>. It's full of useful information!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After seeing this magical ink, I knew Power Poppy's <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/big-sexy-leaves">Big Sexy Leaves</a></i></b> Background stamp would work beautifully with this technique!! And since I am <i>SO READY FOR FALL</i>, I started by creating an inky background with Fall colors. I used up my whole pack of Yupo and have some pieces that mixed the blues/greens along with the Fall colors and I love the mix, but I didn't let things dry properly (learning curve), so I ended up using my monochromatic pieces. I plan to try my hand at mixing colors again though. The leaf and butterfly were diecut from a couple of the other practice pieces.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, I realize there are a few of you crazy people that are still trying to hold on to summer, so I included a summery palette too. I love how versatile this <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/big-sexy-leaves">Big Sexy Leaves</a></i></b> background stamp is.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The sentiment is from the Power Poppy set <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/peonies-and-tulips">Dynamic Duos: Peonies and Tulips</a></i></b>. I wanted a bold script so it would pop over the busy background.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello creative friends!!! I hope your Friday is off to a beautiful start!! We are finally cooling down in the Central Valley of California and it is soooooo welcomed!! Now, we just need to get all the fires under control. We are not in any threat of fires because we are in the center of farming country, but since we live in a valley, all the smoke and smog settles here. We have a conundrum. Rain and breezes would be nice to get rid of the smoke, but would be horrible for our crops. *sigh* Anyway...we are back in the 90's and we are even looking forward to some days in the actual 80's. I don't even know if I remember what that feels like. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On to my card, which is what you dropped by for in the first place. I'm a bit late to the party with this fabulous (FREE for always) digital image, called <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/digital-stamps/products/kindness-is-the-way">Kindness is the Way</a></i></b>, that Power Poppy released a little over a month ago. Gerberas are one of my absolute favorite flowers. And there is such a variety of colors to them that this image has unlimited possibilities. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought it would be fun to just have color in the centers and sentiment, so I started by coloring the entire background with my Black Copic 100.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I then colored the individual flowers using grays and blues. I colored the letters on a separate piece of X-Press It cardstock, cut them out and popped them up over the main piece in which I colored the letters all black so they would have a shadow when popped.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, hello, hello!!!! I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to an even better weekend!!! I'm looking forward to a "no pressure" kind of weekend. No plans...nothing demanding...just going with the flow and getting done what gets done. Does that make sense? I'm not putting any pressure on myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We did, however, just get done celebrating my son's 28th birthday, thus the "Beer card". Power Poppy's <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/digital-stamps/products/hops-and-barley">Hops and Barley</a></i></b> digital stamp set could not be more perfect for him. He is a beer "connoisseur"... according to this family. He LOVES craft beer. So much so, that he has just finished designing and building a fenced in garden plot to grow hops. He did offer to share part of it with his wife to grow some herbs and vegetables though. What a guy right? ;) I, myself, thinks beer tastes like what I would imagine gasoline would taste like. No matter how much I've tried (and I have tried different brands...even ice cold), I just can't develop a taste for it. So, I don't get this whole "craft beer craze".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">All that being said, I really enjoyed coloring this no-line version of Hops and Barley. I love Marcella's creative mind. What a perfect set for Beer lovers!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I just used Copics, and left it in the diecut framing after cutting and sponged some Antique Linen and Pumice Stone Distress Inks around the borders to highlight the image even more.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Below is a close-up of the colors.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello my creative friends!! It's been awhile since I've posted here, and I'm excited to share a new project inspired by the new <b><i><a href="http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/search/label/Power%20%26%20Spark%20Challenge">Power and Spark Challenge</a></i></b> hosted by my dear friend Cindy Lawrence. In fact, I do believe my card is <i>heavily inspired</i> by <b><i><a href="https://cindylawrence.net/home-sweet-home-3/">her card</a></i></b>. I didn't even think about it until I was photographing it. What can I say...she's inspirational.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the new digital set called <i><b><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/digital-stamps/products/gifts-from-the-sea">Gifts from the Sea</a></b></i> because it fit so perfectly with the room I was inspired by. I decorated my guest bathroom with plums and grays with some natural elements for decor. The "vase" in the left corner of the vanity is actually a rock, with barnacles naturally attached to it, that I purchased as a souvenir from Tofino, Canada. I added the silk accents later.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello and happy Friday!!! I have a card to share with you today that doesn't use Copics, Watercolor brushes, or any pencils, and it was sooooo much fun!!! To make the flowers, all you need is Distress Oxide Inks, a positioning tool (I used a <b><i><a href="https://www.mysweetpetunia.com/category-s/107.htm">Misti</a></i></b>), a waterbottle (I used a Distress Sprayer), and your choice of stamps. I used Power Poppy's <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/succulent-singles">Succulent Singles</a></i></b> set with coordinating <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/coordinating-dies/products/succulent-singles-coordinating-dies">Succulent Singles dies</a></i></b>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's a pretty easy process if you have a <b><i><a href="https://www.mysweetpetunia.com/category-s/107.htm">Misti</a></i></b> to work with because the stamp stays put and you can realign everything lickety-split. The stamp images I used are clear, so I would be able to line them up with a stamping block too, but my eyes aren't what they used to be. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I started by inking up one of the succulent images with the Distress Oxide color I wanted for my base (the one that is going to spread out a bit and not give a defined line). I spritzed it thoroughly 3x, stamped it, and dried it with a heat tool. (the ink travels a bit) I then inked the image up again with a different color. Depending on how defined I wanted the lines, I either spritzed the image once, or not at all, and stamped directly over the now dried image and used my heat tool again. Lastly, I diecut them all out and arranged them how you see here.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Before I go, I wanted to make sure you've seen all the new fantastic new Digital images <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/">Power Poppy</a></i></b> released this week. I haven't had an opportunity to work with them yet (we're camping right now), but let me tell you, I'm "chomping-at-the-bit". Marcella's vignettes are like not other. Nothing compares. They are all a complete delight. I hope you'll give them a try. There is even a free Digital Gerbera set called <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/newest-digital-stamps/products/kindness-is-the-way">Kindness is the Way</a></i></b>, and IT...IS...F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!!! It's being offered by <b><i><a href="https://www.kitandclowder.com/">Kit and Clowder</a></i></b> as a free coloring class too. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for visiting!! I hope you are having a a blessed weekend!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <i> Happy Stamping!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, hello, hello!!! Boy is summer in full swing here with changes all around. I haven't posted for awhile because my world has been turned upside down, but it's all for the better. It just takes some readjusting. 3 weeks ago, we got a new family member named Teddy. He's an itty bitty 6lb Shih Poo, and he is a little ball of precious energy. And on July 3, I became a Grandma (Nana) for the first time to a very precious little girl named Adalyn Kate. And, yes, I'm one of those Nana's....she is PERFECT in every way!!! My son and daughter-in-law are incredible and we are all so very blessed!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, now for what you really came here to see...This card has been in the making for 2 weeks...seriously. I have started, started over, and started over again. I think I've truly forgotten how to color. There are parts of this no-line colored card that I'm over the moon happy with (the leaves...I so struggle with leaves), and some, *sigh*...I wish I could do over. But y'all know how it is with no-line coloring, it takes extra time, so once I was half way in, I was "ALL THE WAY" in. So, I know I've added too many lines to many of the Peony petals, but hopefully the person I give it to will be able to overlook the unnaturalness of some of them. YIKES!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the new Power Poppy digital image called <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/digital-blitz/products/irresistible-peonies">Irresistible Peonies</a></i></b> and paired it with the sentiment from another new digital image called <b><i><a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/digital-blitz/products/azaleas-forever">Azaleas Forever</a></i></b>. The image is colored with Copics, and masked off while I splattered some Champagne Gold, and Black mixed with Champagne Gold, watered down Acrylic paint. I like the subtle sparkle.</span><br />
