Hello, friends! I hope this week is treating you well. Happily I found a little extra time to color something pretty so I selected Power Poppy’s Tulips in Hobnail Pitcher from my pile of printed-but-not-yet-colored digis. I hoped to keep this simple, so just some gingham and stitching and a white vining die cut border. The border is a retired Memory Box called Honeysuckle Vine. The card is 5 1/2”. Honestly, simple is just the way I like it when I’ve got such a beautiful image to work with.
I printed on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White and colored with Copics. The shadowing around the image is subtle and diffuse so isn’t too apparent in the photo, but it makes a difference in the overall appearance. These are the Copics I used:
I initially planned to leave this sentiment-free as I do like having blank cards on hand, but I love the quote that comes with this digi set, so I used it inside:
The purple tulips stamped down the side are from the Power Poppy clear stamp set, Dynamic Duos: Peonies and Tulips.
Joining two challenges today:
