A beautiful breath of Winter!

Hello all! I have something extra special today -- brand new designs from Power Poppy. This one is a break from the holiday to celebrate the Winter Blitz Collection, a beautiful array of later winter blooms. They are without a doubt -- breathtaking! And guess what? These designs are all digital, meaning that you can click, buy, print and COLOR all in a matter of minutes!

If you missed yesterday's release, just click HERE to see the digital stamp called Winter Pick-Me-Up. It's a stunner!

On to today's release! Take a gander at these lovelies called Camellias!

This twiggy floral is actually two varieties of the flower intertwined in an extra special way! Again, the beauty of this release is the fact that you can have this image now HERE to color up your own way! ;-) 

On to my creation! When I saw this image, I knew that I wanted to use this image twice as a border on my main panel. So, using Photoshop, I removed the background and then layered the images. I added the sentiment and then.... started to color! 

To color my flowers, I used Distress Markers in Shabby Shudders, Peeled Paint, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick, Spun Sugar and Scattered Straw. After I was done coloring, I did add some shading around my image with Copic markers and I used R01, R0000, and E40. I also added some of the shading around the edge of my panel too and then added a bit of goldleaf pen around the edge too. 

There's really not a ton to my layout -- I wanted to make sure that my panel took center stage. so, I matted my main image onto a pink piece of decorative paper and then again on an ivory card stock base. I added a little pennant flag accent with a gold button strung with gold cording. Here's a close up!  

And that, my friends, is it! With this beautiful branch of blossoms, it's a given that the Bloom Brigade will create a feast for the eyes! So, hop on over and see....
