Hello Everyone!! Guess what?! It's time for a brand new Power Poppy Release!! WOOHOO!! Today the Bloom Brigade are previewing a new HUGE flower called Chrysanthemum XL! This beautiful big bloom is just begging to be coloured up!
I decided to step out of the box and colour this up in purples instead of Fall colours - probably because we are going into Spring here in Australia (Yippeee!!) and enjoying the warmer Spring weather. :)
I've stamped Chrysanthemum XL onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured it up with Copics. I've cut it to size and matted with some cream card then attached some neutral glitter tape across the bottom and attached it to a purple base card. I've stamped the sentiment and petal accent onto the blending card, coloured with Copics and die cut with Labels 33 and airbrushed a little E42 while it was still in the die. I've popped this up on X-press It Foam Tape and finished with a few Chocolate Pearls.
Stamps - Chrysanthemum XL (Power Poppy)
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper - X-press It Blending Card, Cream, Purple
Accessories - Copics, Spellbinders Labels 33, X-press It Deco Glitter Tape, X-press It Foam Tape, Kaisercraft Chocolate Pearls
