Thinking of You : Powerpoppy

~ Sathya ~ 4 Comments
Hi Friends!

Kathyrac’s daily marker coloring challenge is going on and that’s one lovely reason for me to sit down and color daily at least for 20 minutes. Spring is in the air and so I pull out all Floral Clear stamps and digital stamps to color down to my heart’s content.

Today’s card is showcasing a digital stamp from Powerpoppy, one of my super favorite stamp company.

  • Printed Powerpoppy – Luminous Bouquet digital stamp onto a white cardstock.
  • Colored using Prisma colored pencils.
  • Fussy cut and set aside.
  • Took a black cardstock and die cut using Spellbinder frame die.
  • Sponged with Colorbox frost ink over black cardstock using TCW Stencil – Mini quatrefoil.
  • White heat embossed the sentiment onto black cardstock from Powerpoppy’s Dynamic Duos clear stampset.
  • Foam mounted the fussy cut floral bouquet onto the stenciled panel and splattered Prima Frost white ink generously.
  • Mounted this focal panel onto a 4×6″ white top fold card base.
  • Added few white enamel dots for interest.
Hope you like it!

Hi Friends,

Made a quick floral card. Pencil colored these peonies from Power poppy: Dynamic duos clear stamp set several months ago, during Kathyrac’s dailymarker coloring contest. Recolored a bit now to give a fresh look to the peonies.

  • Stamped the peonies onto white cardstock.
  • Colored using Prisma colored pencils.
  • Trimmed and Die-cut using MFT Bracket die.
  • Stamped the sentiment using Memento Black ink on to the kraft colored Top fold A2 sized card base.
  • Mounted the panels on to the kraft to reveal the base sentiment part using Foam adhesives, to raise the panels above the card base.
  • A mini butterfly Mudra Chipzeb is added to the die cut part of panel.
  • Few enamel dots to finish off the card.
Hope you like it!
Happy Crafting!!

Happy Hello: Powerpoppy Blossoming Cherry

~ Sathya ~ 20 Comments
Hi Crafty peeps!!

Happy May!

Powerpoppy’s Blossoming cherry digital stamps reminded me of my most wonderful years at Taiwan. This digi is my recent purchase during a slash sale.

I went in for those misty mornings and foggy days of Spring where every square is loaded with Cherry blossoms and Apple blossoms!! The fine fragrance of the scent surely to elate anyone’s day.

Bit of experiment mode I was. So took a watercolor cs and misted with water liberally and dropped in colors of blue and pink (Gansai Tambi watercolors) at adequate intervals to create a hazy bg. Then dried the cs well and ironed it neatly so that it can be fed easily into the printer.

Yay!! Printed the floral sprig with the sentiment in 1 easy go!

Painted the florals using same watercolors and highlighted with Prisma colored pencils.
Then the watercolor cs trimmed and matted to the black cs. Added generous white paint splatters to create a foggy mood to the card. Then mounted on to a white card base.

Few clear dew droplets as accents to finish off the card.

Hope you like it!!

Happy Crafting!

Bowl of Beauty : PowerPoppy

~ Sathya ~ 6 Comments
Hi All,

My dear Mom’s birthday today and made a floral card for my Plant Nerd Mumma 🙂

She absolutely love plants and religiously maintains a huge garden at my hometown. This blog is the sample of her creative streaks which she transferred. Such a fabulous oil painting artist she is and all my childhood days were spent watching her create layers and layers of those artistic paintings.

Way back in 2011, this day, I made a handmade Quilled birthday card to Mom and from that there wasn’t no looking back…The moments were in search of “Me time” when little one was 2 yrs old and I ended up to this wonderland of Art and Handmade rightly!! Kind of soul-seeking!

Over to the card for today!

  • Printed Bowl of Beauty, a digital stamp from Powerpoppy.
  • Colored using Faber Castell polychromes colored pencils.
  • After finishing coloring, the bg around the flowers were made by Zig clean color brush pens.
  • I did a very light hazy bg with a baby blue brush pen.
  • Few enamel dots to finish off the card.
  • The focal panel matted to the black cs.
  • Then it’s mounted onto the 5×6.5″ white card base.
Hope you like it!

Live a Little : Floral card

Hi Craftypeeps,

Wishing you a very Happy New year 2019!!

Love what you do and do what you love!!
May you find peace and boundless joy in whatever you set your mind on!

I made a floral card as my first project for 2019. Am a sucker for floral stamps and digital floral images are no exception.

Digital images gives a whole new area for exploring…as they can be resized, flipped, and what not. It gives umpteen options for working on card designs.

  • Printed the Hellebore flower in varying sizes from Powerpoppy’s Heart Abloom digital set.
  • Colored using Prisma colored pencils.
  • Fussy cut and kept aside.
  • Took a smooth blending card and smooshed the Distress oxide: Fossilized amber on a plastic sheet, misted with water and then applied to the card.
  • Randomly stamped the newspaper print stampers using Altenew’s limestone ink. It gives a subtle texture over the inked surface.
  • Splattered distress ink: black soot over the card panel for little more interest.
  • Arranged the fussy cut florals in different dimensions for visual interest and added sentiment from Powerpoppy’s Dynamic duo’s clear stampset on to round wood veneer.
  • Matted this panel to a black cs and then mounted onto a white A2 top fold card base.
  • As a finishing touch, added few grey enamel dots.
Hope you like this!

  • The sentiment is directly printed onto vellum and diecut using stitched rectangle dies.
  • Yupo paper is also diecut using same stitched rectangle dies.
  • Its then matted onto white A2 top fold card.
  • The vellum focal panel is topped over the yupo paper in such a way that the organic design of alcohol inks were showing up around the focal image.
  • Few clear dew droplets added as finishing touches.
Hope you like it!
