Hey everyone! I have a new release from Power Poppy for you all today! Today we are showcasing the new Graceful Still Life.
I blew the image up and rotated it in order to just paint up the dogwood branches, and Marcella is so sweet she added the Dogwood branches on her own for you!
I have also recorded a video of this sweet card for you all! I used my Schmicke and my Daniel Smith watercolours to paint it up. I have a video for you all as well!
Please Hop along to all of my wonderful Team mates and see what they created!

Hey all! I am back today with a new special release Digital Stamp for Power Poppy!
I love this image, Marcella created this one for Rhea’s 50th birthday! It is so lovely! You can grab Orchid Dreams Digital Image here.
I painted this one up with watercolour using both my Schmicke set as well as a couple Daniel Smith paints. I don’t keep track of the paints I use as they are always mixed together and different colours layered on top of eachother. But I do take my time and add lots of layers.
There are some other examples using this image from the wonderful Design Team!
Hey everyone, today I have a watercoloured card using Power Poppy’s Chicadee in Barberry Digital Stamp. I painted it on Fabriano Artistico 140lbs Hotpress Watercolour paper with my Schmicke watercolours.
I really enjoyed the ease of painting this image, it created a card so easy with just the painting and popping it up onto a card base. Marcella’s art is so fantastic!
I ruffed up the edges of the watercolour paper and called it a card. I really am going to have to paint this one again.
Hey everyone! Sorry I haven’t been around I was crazy ill and am just no starting to feel normal again. On top of it all I dropped my mic that I use for voice overs and can not record any of those till I can pick up a new one.
What that means is I have finally filmed a swatching and light review of my 48 half pan set of Schmincke Watercolours. These are expensive paints they sell for $327 USD at Dick Blicks online store.
I researched and saved my pennies for almost two years in order to pick these up, stamps and things had to be purchased too so it took me a while, and when I had the money there were a few reasons why I picked these. Schmicke watercolours have been around since 1881 that is well over 100 years, and are still owned by the Schmicke and Horadam families. There are 110 colours in the professional series of paints, 69 of them are single pigment colours, they are all available as half pans, full pans, 5ml tubes, and 15ml tubes.
Schmincke is the only watercolour manufacturer that uses the same formula in their tubes and pans (most other companies extrude their paints for their pans), they pour their paint into the pan in small incraments, it takes 3-4 pours in order to fill the pan, allowing it to dry in between pours. This means it takes quite along time (3 to 5 months) in order to make a single pan of colour but the paint is consistent with the tubes all the time.
I will have more light reviews coming up in the near future, I do have some Daniel Smith Colours and am slowly building that collection. For a person who is just doing cardmaking this is not a necessity to have by any means, but I do LOVE it and use it all the time.
Hey everyone! Today I have a design team project for Quick Creations! Today I have painted up Italian Speedy Tilda with my Schmincke Horadam Watercolours. There is a video over on my youtube channel.
I used a few pieces of Prima Marketing Tales of you & me patterned paper and some kraft card stock. A bunch of ribbon, lace and Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers finish off this card.
Hey everyone! We are still going strong and having a great time playing with Power Poppy images over at Passionate Paper Creations and Friends this weekend. If you aren’t over there with us yet you really should be!
To colour the Hellebores image up I used my Schmincke Horadam Aquarel watercolour set. I will list the colours I used, but just remember these colours were mixed together and used with different amounts of water to achieve the look I was after not just straight colour out of the pans.
Colours used – Lemon Yellow, Chrome Yellow Deep, Magenta, Permanent Carmine, Delft Blue, Idigo, Prussian Green, May Green, Colbalt Green Dark, Olive Green Yellow, and Yellow Ocher.
Hey everyone! Today I am here with a lovely shabby Magnolia Card! I used Watered Tilda. I painted her with my Schmincke Horadam watercolours. If you missed the video on my Youtube channel I will embed it in the blog post for you.
I used digital papers from Nit Wit Collection that I printed off. Wild lace made the butterfly at the top, I tied a triple bow with some twine, two cuts of the LDRS Creative Lovely View Die, bling, lace, pearls, and Wild Orchid Crafts flowers finish off the front of this card.
Hey everyone, Today I have a super shabby Magnolia Tilda card to share with you all. I used Sweet Tilda with Balloon.I stamped her on Arches 140 lbs coldpress watercolour paper and painted her with my Schmincke Horadam watercolours.
I used up some left overs of Pion Design, and fab scraps papers. A Scrapiniec Royal Decorative Borders chipboard piece, a Memory Box butterfly Die, Magnolia Tag die, Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, flat back pearls, and some berries from my stash finish off the front of this card.
