Power Poppy : Peace Offering Digital Release

~ Sathya ~ 9 Comments

Hi All,

Am here today to share about Power Poppy’s New Digital Release : Peace Offering

This bouquet is based on European folk art flower designs and made in a way for anyone to make a card or poster to help promote peace.

This set has word PEACE, and also MIR which is Peace in Russian and Ukrainian.

The handcolored digital version 8.5×11″ is also available for sale to support the cause.

All profits from the sale of this $5 digi will go to the charity Sunflower of Peace, to help support Ukraine with medical and humanitarian aid.

Sunflower of Peace, a non-profit organization committed to helping Ukrainians affected by the Russian military invasion with medical and humanitarian aid. It is a USA-based 501(c)(3), working with a global network of established organization and institutions that are committed to helping Ukraine in the current situation. 

Website: www.sunflowerofpeace.com

Over to my cards,

I made 2 simple cards using the digis in CAS style in a minimalistic way.
Card 1

  • Printed the sentiment peace all over the focal panel and diecut it with a stitched rectangle die.
  • The folk art digi is printed onto a white cardstock and diecut it using a stitched circle digi.
  • The 2 diecut strips are cut from blue and yellow cardstocks and matted over the focal panel as shown.
  • Circle diecut is then topped over the focal panel.
  • Then panel is matted over the Blue A2 sized top fold cardbase.

Card 2

  • Printed the folk art digi onto a white cs and colored using Fabercastell polychromos pencils.
  • Diecut it using a stitched rectangle.
  • Using Alpha dies, diecut the word MIR from peace bg panel.
  • Took a A2 sized yellow top fold cardbase, Matted the focal panel using foam adhesive to one side of the cardbase.
  • The alpha diets MIR are added as shown for interest.
Hope you like my take on this Digital stamp.

Power Poppy friends shared their versions too.

Hop over to check their beautiful creations and leave your love.

Full Bloom : Altenew Statement Flowers

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment

 Hiya Crafters,

Past 2 months were too busy churning cards for my blog and its just continuing this month too but with a change. Making cards but scheduling for later dates. Yeah, busy making Guest designing projects and so personal projects taking back seat at the moment. Yet squeezed some time today and whipped a card using my new products in my stash – Altenew Woodless Watercolor pencils.

Over to my card,

Colors are inspired from current Altenew Feb challenge

  • Stamped the Altenew Statement flowers stamp set floral onto Canson Montval Watercolor paper in DI Antique Linen for attempting no line coloring.
  • Then colored using Altenew Woodless Watercolor pencils.
  • They are so easy to work with.
  • Then fussy cut and splashed generously with White Calligraphy ink for added interest
  • Took a diecut watercolor panel and with green woodless pencils, made few scribblings  and wet those areas with water liberally to create an organic bg.
  • Air dried and then splashed with left over paints to finish off the bg.
  • Once dried totally, stamped sentiment from Altenew Dahlia blossoms in green ink cube.
  • Foam mounted the panel onto Olive green A2 card base and Fussy cut bloom is foam mounted with few clear dew droplets as accents.
Hope you like it!
