I was happy to see Toni's challenge this week for Ways To Use It. While I love flowers, this image from Marcella Hawley includes some ripe persimmons. Thanks, Toni, for a fun challenge!
It's been a fun week at Power Poppy with the new clear stamp release, and the Bloom Brigade always delights us (and enable us). Later today Marcella Hawley will be sharing this new Instant Garden digital release that I was able to color up. I decided to use the full digital image with the sweet pitcher filled with flowers, berries, and some ripe persimmons. I colored on X-Press It Blending card and kept a simple layout. I added a birthday sentiment for a friend who loves flowers and is celebrating a birthday next week. For the blue mat, I used BG72 on Baja Breeze to match my pitcher color, and of course used my Mini MISTI to stamp the sentiment. I think life is beginning to get back to normal to some degree, but we still have a lot of cleaning after the bathroom renovation. I'm also hoping to purge more during the cleaning process. That's always a good thing, right? LOL!
Thanks for taking a closer look at my card, and I hope you all a wonderful weekend! Hugs! xoxo
