Power Poppy ~ Forest Finds

Hello, Friends! Happy November and Happy Sunday! It's the 5th of the month so I've got a new Power Poppy digi set to share. I don't know how she does it but, Marcella has given us another wonderful image to add to our Instant Garden. This one is just perfect for this time of year. A time I like to call, Fall Into Christmas...get it? Tee hee hee! Anyway...this new set is called Forest Finds and I am totally smitten with it. Take a look...




It's pretty awesome, right? I love the vintage feel of this image! Here's what Marcella has to say...

"Embrace forest finds — or glass ornament lookalikes! — for this special holiday grouping. A vintage pinecone, tiny pumpkin, and pomegranate ornament are arranged among poinsettia leaves and a berry-bedecked twig. Color this illustration for a simple, sweet, and quite unique way to wish your friends and family a warm and wonderful holiday season."

Because the sentiments are not Christmas specific and there is a tiny pumpkin ornament, this image fills the bill for both Fall or Christmas cards. I also think this would be beautiful colored and then foiled with gold. That would be soooo pretty! I have lots of ideas, just not a lot of energy. But, I am sharing my "wip" or "work in progress".



This is such a fun image to color! I used Prismacolor colored pencils and NO blending solution. I just used the pencils for blending. I'm really liking that technique...just my pencils and me! I plan to add lots of sparkle and maybe even a little "snow". We'll see!  I hope to finish this up today and get it on a card!

That's all I have to share today. Please take a moment to visit the Power Poppy blog for more information and to see what my teammates have created to share with you.

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the remainder of your weekend!

Until next time....

Blessings~

Ooh, sweet Barb, this is starting to "bloom" already! I love it and love the wee pumpkin you've colored so sweetly. And your berries are fabulous. I can hardly wait to see it finished and how you make it into a card. I am especially eager to see what you will do with that big ole pomegranate. I know it will be beautiful! Sending hugs, precious friend!! xoxo

Your wip is gorgeous so far, Barb! You make magic with your pencils! I look forward to seeing the finished project. :) The card you sent me is sitting right where I can see it every day and I smile each time I look at it. You are wonderful. Hugs! Hope you have a happy week.
