Lets Play it Sketchy

Today is a sketch challenge over at Power Poppy.  It’s a pretty layout for all of those new florals we’ve been playing with!



I printed up two of the Gerbera Daisies digi images.  I used one for the base image and just the top flower from the second one to pop up for dimension.



I colored the entire image with Copic markers and shaded around the flowers with Prismacolor pencils and oms.  I also sponged Versa Magic ink in Wheat around the image with the Spellbinders die still in place.    I then painted over the flowers with glitter paint.    All of the paper is from the MME Market paper pad.  I layered a few buttons for embellishments.  

I love having a sketch to work from, makes it a bit easier on my brain some days!  I hope you will join this fun challenge!  All of the details to enter can be found on the Power Poppy Blog.  Play along for your chance to win a stamp set of your choice!  I look forward to seeing your creations!

These ladies of the Brigade have some inspiration to share with you too!

The Time is Now

Here it is…the first set for May from Power Poppy by Marcella Hawley.   This month we are featuring digital images that you can download and create with right away.  Instant gratification!

This is Gerbera Daisies.

Gerbera daisies are one of my favorite flowers. They come in so many colors it’s hard to choose!  After printing my image twice I colored one entire panel, and just one bloom on the second image.  I cut out the single flower and popped it up over the base image to create depth.  I used Copic markers YR0000, YR00, YR27, R17, G40, G43, G46 and BVoo for shadows.   I used BG10, BG11, and BG13 to add background around the blooms.  I also sponged around the edges of the panel with Distress Ink in Antique Linen. 
I added clear micro beads to the center of each flower with Glossy Accents to make them pop.  You can also see the dimension from the flower I popped up.

I printed and matted the sentiment included with the image and adhered that to the image panel with a button and some rustic twine.  The patterned paper is from the MME The Sweetest Thing – Tangerine paper pad.
Take a hop around and check out all of the wonderful creations the Bloom Brigade has to share with you today!
