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.

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.

 Hiya Friends,

Made a quick Pencil colored card using Altenew Dahlia Blossoms stamp set. After years, I took my first ever 24 set Faber Castell Polychromos pencil colors and use it to my heart content.

Over to my card,

  • Took Arches HP watercolored paper, stamped Altenew Dahlia Blooms using Antique Linen DI.
  • Pencil colored using 24 set Faber Castell polychromos pencils.
  • Stamped sentiment from same set using Altenew Jet black ink.
  • Die cut using MFT 2nd largest Rec die.
  • Splashed generously white acrylic paint.
  • Matted over a yellow A2 sized top fold car base using foam adhesives.
Hope you like it!

Just stamped the sentiment and the butterfly in memento black ink on a white A2 sized card base directly for a dramatic look. And this makes as One layer card too. Bit of shading on the butterfly is all I have done to finish off the card.

Hiya Friends!

Am still in Spring mood! Yet another floral birthday card here for you all.

This lovely bunch of florals is made using a gift from a dear Crafty friend, Kanan Pandya, whose watercolored cards are my ever favorite!  She has sent me this Stampendous: Bouquet for you Stampset few years ago and I love using it often!

You can check my earlier creations using this stampset here and here

Masked and made into cute floral spray using No line coloring with Fabercastell polychromos pencils. These were colored during Kathyrac’s dailymarker coloring contest. Now made it into a card. I colored the fussy cut ends with black marker to give a neat look.

  • Took a watercolored cardstock.
  • Splashed with water centrally and added Limegreen Brusho crystals over it and heat set it.
  • Went over with Prima Marketing- Finnabair Lightpaste with TCW ‘Art is’ stencil diagonally over the colored portion of the card.
  • Stamped the sentiment from Inspired by Stamping using Memento Black.
  • Matted the panel over A2 sized Black card base by trimming it a bit.
  • The added the fussy cut florals with foam adhesives.
  • Couple of purple fussy cut butterflies with few clear dew droplets to finish off the card.
