Cultivate Love Collection by Power Poppy

It’s been a fabulous five days of sneak peeks and today’s the day all of the amazing clear stamp sets get a fantastic reveal for the amazing Cultivate Love Collection from Power Poppy.

I chose to highlight the Sage Life collection on my card share today.  I used the arched herbs, the “seasoned with Love” sentiment and that adorable little colander of herbs!  So stinkin’ cute!

And a little close up…

Now… check out what the rest of the extremely talented Bloom Brigade designer blogs have in store for you...

Win With SCT & Power Poppy!

TGIF everyone!  I don’t know about you but I’ve had a tough week this week.  Just haven’t been feeling tip-top.  The weather has been cool and rainy here in Southern Alberta and my head has been pounding most of this week – it doesn’t exactly promote a lot of creative time.  It doesn’t help that I’m sleeping well or at all at night!

I did get a chance to dabble in some water colour though on the weekend and I created this fun card for you today!

I began with some Tim Holtz Distress Water Color Paper and some Letraset Aquamarkers for my card creation.  I stamped the lovely bouquet from the “Countryside Bouquet Deluxe” using some Ranger “Wild Honey” Distress Ink.  Then I used an acrylic block and scribbled my Aquamarkers on to it and used it as a palette to watercolor my stamped image.

I took a lot of time and painted each petal individually using the inks from the markers and my water brush.  I just adore the end result.

Just in case you missed it, Power Poppy took center stage over at the Scrapbook & Cards Today blog with their Card Cafe Thursday here! And today, there's another surprise! Head on over to their blog HERE to see how YOU could win a $25 gift certificate to the Power Poppy Shop!

Now join the remainder of the Bloom Brigade with me and take a stroll on over to all of their blogs.  You’ll surely be inspired!

Let Freedom Ring!

It’s Friday and another fabulous day to not only share with you, but for you to share with us!  Come and join the Bloom Brigade over on the Popper Poppy Blog for another Peep of the Week!  Come and play along with us and get a chance to WIN!

This week I chose to work with the stunningly delicate “Countryside Bouquet” digital stamp set.  I took the image, duplicated it four times and took square snippets of the image from different areas and then printed out all four squares along with the cute (and offered free… click here!) sentiment.

To play along the freedom theme, I chose to work with reds, blues and whites!

Take a gander at what the rest of the Bloom Brigaders have done with our fabulous digital images…

Introducing… Geraniums!

Howdy all!  It’s Day Two of the Power Poppy reveal for July 2014!  We’re so happy you could join us today.

Once again, we’re introducing a new digital stamp for this month.  Check out…. Geraniums…

For today’s reveal, I chose to keep my card design simple.  I took the stunning “Geranium” digi stamp into my photo editing software, shrunk it down a bit, duplicated it a few times and created a wreath of blooms to surround my sentiment.  This is WHY I love digital stamps… so many possibilities!

Once I printed my creation, I coloured it using Copic Markers with two shades of purple and a splash of pink.

Now… come and see what my fellow Bloom Brigaders have created with this fine digital stamp…
