Hey everyone! Today I have a new release image for Power Poppy, this one is called Sweet Pea and it is a Digital Stamp!

I chose to do my typical thing and  blew the image up and cropped it onto a A2 size card front! I coloured the image with everything I could imagine, watercolours, Copics, coloured pencils and gouache!

This image is so lovely and I cant wait to print it up again, I think I would like to do it in more subdued colours!

Hey everyone! It is day 3 of previews for The Greeting Farm! Today we have a fantastic set for you all called Get Well Soon!

tgf-get-well-soon-wm

I stamped a sentiment from the set in Versa mark ink and then embossed it with white embossing powder! Using Distress Inks and Clarity Stamp Stencil brushes I created the background. I cut a circle out of white card stock and used foam tape to adhere it over top of the background. Using foam tape and Tombow liquid adhesive I added all the little characters. Some faux stitching and this card was complete!

Remember to come back on the 15th when we will be having a blog hop and these stamps will be released!
