Soothing Sympathy ~ Power Poppy

Hello, hello, hello!!  I am so excited to start sharing some Power Poppy previews with you today!  On June 28, Power Poppy will be releasing 7 new Clear Stamp sets!!  How cool is that!!!  And today, we're previewing a beautiful Sympathy set called Soothing Sympathy.  It has sweet little sprays of flowers with some gorgeous and encouraging sentiments.  

I started by stamping the soft floral spray, and dicut the curved rectangle leaving a window for the inked sentiment.  I then embossed the front panel and popped it up over the sentiment for some dimension.  Lastly I added some ribbon to the corners and adhered the front panel to a large intricate die for the base.  That's it.

For some more inspiration with this set, check out the following Bloom Brigade Blogs:

Life is the Flower ~ Power Poppy

Hello friends!! There are some exciting new things happening over at Power Poppy.  Marcella's bringing back some of her gorgeous images in digital form.  Each one has a little tweak here and there to make it fresh and new, and now you don't have to settle for only one digital release a month.  There will be 3.  Yep...every 5th, 15th and 25th, there will be some beautiful digital images released along with some coordinating sentiments.

Today, we're featuring a beautifully, charming floral bouquet called Asters Abuzz!!  I used photoshop to create the image twice and combine them for a vertical image and colored them with Copics.  I also split the sentiment so I could add it to the top and bottom of my image panel.  The base is embossed with an embossing folder and I got a little sequin happy.  

Now, a few of the Bloom Brigade, along with a very special Instant Gardener, have some fabulous projects to share with y'all.
