I am happy to be hosting at Creative Confetti this week and I have a challenging one for you.
It is called "Pop" Goes the flower!
Hello all! I bet you are wondering what this title means. "Pop" goes the flower? I have learned that if you want your image to stand out, you need shading to push it out front. In this case, I have actually made my entire background dark to get that effect. I have colored the background of my card with a Copic marker.HOW TO PLAY: Stamp your image for your project, color it up and then color the background too. Make sure that it is a dark color and that will make your image "pop". If you are hesitant to color the background, you can just start with dark card stock, or you can cut out your image and adhere it to a dark card base. Whatever you decide, just go for it. It will be fun. Remember that everyone has a chance to win a $25 gift code to the Power Poppy shop.On to my creation!
I will be honest with you, I made this card and when it turned out OK, I wrote this post. Sorry that I have no in-process pictures. I promise that next time I will do better. I do have a surprise later, so stay tuned. For this card, I used the stamp set called Abundant Petals by Power Poppy. After stamping it with Versamark and a champagne embossing power, I colored it with Copic markers. The flower is YR68, YR21, Y17, and Y38, the leaves, YG03, YG17, YG21, and YG67. My background is B24.Here is the surprise that I mentioned before.I am adding this card that I made after taking Amy Schulke's class. It is another example of that dark background that makes everything "Pop".
This card uses the stamp from Power Poppy called Take a Deep Breath. This background has Distress ink in Chipped Sapphire and Mermaid Lagoon sponged on using the masking technique.Now it is your turn! Roll up our sleeves and start coloring up those images. I can't wait to see what you do. Remember you can win a $25 gift code if you enter.Until next time!~Barbara
