Coloring Outside The Lines - Let It Be

Power Poppy

I am playing in Power Poppy's Power & Sparklette Challenge 

Week 3 - Coloring Outside The Lines. 

 Marcy is challenging us to color up a Power Poppy image doing something different to us.  So I colored in the leaves simply (no blending) which is unusual for me and I really wanted to blend those colors, I did.  But I wanted to keep it CAS so I used a light color and then a darker along the lines in the leaf.  Then I went around the edge with a light blue and it was different for me because there is noguideline.  I felt a little anxious wanting to get it even.  So this was fun to let go and try something different from my go to coloring technique.  Plus I layered up a little with dies rather than my one layer creations. 

I chose to use the Power Poppy Freebie Digi

Happy Birthday Vicki

Birthday Blog Hop For Vicki 

I chose one of Vicki's beautiful cards as her Birthday Hop Logo. 

Today a few of us local crafty gals are honoring Vicki on her birthday with a blog hop.
I have had the pleasure of meeting the person behind these extraordinary color creations.  Vicki always blows me away with her use of color.

Mwah to you Vicki enjoy your birthday and our hop in your honor. 

The First inspiration for my card:
the way Vicki achieves such vibrant color on all her creations.   In my effort to achieve such color I tried mixing up colors in my flowers. I achieved this color on my peonies using yellows, orange and pinks then shading with a gray.
Copics I used:
peonies  = Y21, YR23, YR02, RV23, RV25, C5
leaves = YG21, YG23, YG25, C5
background = BG000, 0

The Second inspiration for my card:
 Tracy McNeely's card for this week's Muse Challenge #166.
However I positioned my flowers from the gorgeous digi, Peony Love by Power Poppy,  in opposite corners and my sentiment in the center.

The Third inspiration for my card was:

 Power Poppy's

Most Awesome Mom

I am so glad I went to the Power Poppy blog Friday looking for an image for Mother's Day. 

Oh and this brand new digital image Peony Love fit the bill perfectly!  I made a 5x5 card. I think this is the most detailed image I have ever colored. It was a joyful challenge. My Mom loves flowers. So I think she'll love this. Thank you Marcella.  This card is also for this week's CAS Challenge on Splitcoaststampers CAS376 For A Special Lady. 

I colored my flowers using Copics.  

I colored with the lightest color first leaving white space then added layers to give the deep colors and shading.

Orange=YR02, YR04

Pink=R20, R22

 First, I am playing in this week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoaststampers.

Congratulations Karin Van Eijk aka karin van eijk.   I cased THIS beauty of Karin's.

My Differences:

 Flowers in corner, Clear Sequins, White card base only

I am using this beautiful digi from Power Poppy, Dancing With Daffodils

I printed out my image and trimmed it down to just the daffodils.  I also printed out another and cut just the petals from the left daffodil and just the center from the right daffodil. I colored all pieces, popped up the main image then popped up the two small parts as well.  Then just finished off with sequins.

Birthday Daffodils

You won't believe this is a Digi!

 Marcella Hawley makes the most beautiful stamps.

Including her latest Digi Dancing With Daffodils.  Can you believe it is a digi?

I made this card for my Mom's birthday. I was sick on her birthday so this is belated.

 I tried a new technique to me from Power Poppy's Inspire Me Monday Depth With Burnishing.

I printed out two images. The second I cut out just the daffodils and snail, colored them, cut them out, used the depth with burnishing technique and popped it up!

I computer generated the inside and front sentiments.

 

I made this card for Power Poppy's Power & Spark Challenge

March Go For The Gold

I used gold sequins
