Christmas Corgis ~ Power Poppy Happiest Holiday 2018 Preview

Are you ready for some previews? We're getting ready for Power Poppy's Happiest Holiday 2018 release, and today we're featuring the super adorable and creative Christmas Corgis.  I know you know where Marcy's inspiration came from.  ;)

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".

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.

That's it for my project today, but you must check out with the following Bloom Brigaders have to share:

Dancing with Daffodils ~ Power Poppy

Hello friends!  The Bloom Brigade is sharing projects made with the newly released digital image called Dancing with Daffodils, and I took a little different path this week.  I printed the daffodil image onto Canon Pastel paper and colored it with Faber-Castel Polychromos pencils.  That's it.  It's super easy and fun to try something a little different.

Now, just in case you haven't seen the rest of the Bloom Brigade's inspiration, here are the links to their blogs.  I promise you, you won't want to miss a stop.  These gals know how to enable.  *wink*

Power Poppy: Pop Goes the World Challenge

Hello Stamping friends!  Power Poppy will be hosting some fun challenges this month!  Each Friday, we'll have a challenge for you to help get the creativity flowing, and this week we're having a color challenge.  All you need to do, is use three of the four colors in your creation and you'll have a chance to win a stamp set of your choice.  Entries will be accepted until 3PM EST on May 30th, and a winner will be announced on June 2nd, after the June Release.   When uploading to Splitcoaststampers, use the Keyword: PPWORLD1

Check out the Power Poppy Blog for all the rules on how you can participate.

 I chose to use Orange, Yellow and green for my card.  And, before I go any further, I need to give credit to Lydia Fiedler (understandblue: Splitcoastampers).  She inspired me to try coloring on Pastel paper with Faber-Castell Ploychromos Colour Pencils.  It was super fun, and gave this beautiful digital Tulips image (Power Poppy) a whole new look.  The digital image printed beautifully on the Pastel paper. 

For the inside, I just printed the sentiment, from the Gladioli (Power Poppy) set, directly onto the Pastel paper, tore it and added some white pigment ink to the edges.

That's it for my project today.  If you haven't seen what the rest of the Bloom Brigade has to share, check out their blogs listed below:
