NEW Instant Garden Release & Winners Announced

I’ve been looking soooooooo forward to sharing this new digital download set with you all, it’s pretty much the culmination of the end of summer and the first blush of fall. Fruits, flowers, and berries in a pretty mixture — and not just ONE pretty mixture — BUT TWO!! Introducing...

Bountiful Bouquet

A digital stamp set, Bountiful Bouquet features two unique focal images, plus two unique sentiments — basically it’s like getting two sets in one.

I’ve loaded up a pitcher with three things that I’d love to have in a real life bouquet. I think the colors are fantastic together. Why, the pokeweed was something I found growing along a fence while I was out walking Tibbs. 

Note: All parts of Pokeweed are toxic — do not ingest! And if touching it, handle with heavy gloves.

Pretty, but toxic, Pokeweed puts out the coolest berries on HOT PINK stems! Hubba hubba! What a shocking burst they give our bouquet. Then we have branches from a persimmon tree (here’s one I saw in full fruit last fall, look at all of those wonderful orange orbs!). And finally, three large blooms of Rudbekia gloriosa (Gloriosa Daisies) or Rudbekia hirta (Black-eyed Susan) — or color it up to be whatever you'd like! There are zillions of directions you can go.

Would you like to see what I did with the bouquet plopped in to the pitcher? I colored it up and then photographed it surrounded with flowers from my end-of-summer garden. There’s still lots happening out there:

Isn't it fun with the bits of hot pink and purple tucked in around the autumnal oranges and warm yellows? I used watercolors and gouache for the base of my coloring, then accented and added depth with Prismacolor colored pencils, my new best friends.

What does the OTHER image in this set look like? 

Well, you’re going to have to go find out for yourself, by visiting our designers’ blogs!
