Today is a few firsts for me! I'm the guest designer on the Power Poppy Blog for their Hues to Use Challenge. NOTE: For this opportunity I received this digital image at no cost. I found out about Power Poppy Stamps when I signed up for The Coloring Challenge Road Trip. Kathy from The Daily Marker came to St Louis and my best friend Becky and I spent the day coloring and checking out (and purchasing) the wonderful stamps at Power Poppy.
I'm a traditional stamper and for this card, I used my first ever digital stamp Everything's Rosy. I do love the flexibility to size these images to fit my project. Copic Markers on Neenah Classic Crest 110lb Card Stock is my "go-to" for coloring. I tried to print my digital stamp on Neenah - my printer wasn't having any of that! So I changed my tactic and printed on Canson Mixed Media and whipped out my Kuretake Gansai Water Colors and went to town! My image looked "flat" so I printed out another copy of that digital stamp and watercolored a few of the flowers. After I fussy cut parts of flowers, I used Tim Holtz Collage Medium and very carefully placed the flower bits on top to keep it raised. I set that aside to dry. For more dimension, I added Glossy Accents to the polka dot cup. Detail was added with a White Uniball gel pen and Black Micron Pen. To bring my card together, I used Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to attach fun foam to both my image and card base.
