Instant Garden November Release: Snowdrops and Tea Roses


Friends, I am seriously getting into the Holiday mood. How does one switch so quickly from fall flair to “O Tannenbaum”? 
One wakes up to a full-fledged snow day in November.



I have yet to rake the leaves, and there will be snowman-making today. Why, there is already a fire in my fireplace and hot coffee in my cup (so very grateful for both!). How about adding a cozy new digital image to download and color up during this snow day....


Introducing: Snowdrops & Tea Roses




This is the first in a new series I’ve been working on. Bouquets nestled into vintage French café au lait bowls (they are rustic and quite charming, with simple patterns and prints that you can coordinate to the flower colors!). Snowdrops and Tea Roses is a pretty arrangement that also includes Variegated Holly — which is holly with a lighter-colored edging. The effect of the lighter edging gives you a bright look rather than merely dark green.


Just look at this range of options with the hybrid tea roses, there are so many ways you can go — from pinks and peaches to rosy reds. Or how about golden yellow? Sparkling white and ivory! What if you mixed it up and had three different colors!?! The Instant Gardeners have REALLY done it up for today’s release!!


Thought I’d share a little inspiration with you here... as I’m coming up with the combinations for my florals, I really do have a ball “playing” with textures and colors that I think will go well together. I put them together in my mind, then start sketching to see how they might work...


Oh, what fun! Snowdrops and Tea Roses is a detailed drawing that comes with a light grey version for “no-line” coloring, along with two sentiments.


Always remember that you can enlarge the image or crop in if it seems too daunting. That’s part of the fun of digital stamps. 

You’ve got to see today’s release cards in their entirety — the Instant Gardener team went above and beyond.



Thank you, than you, for your GORGEOUS WORK, ladies!

We will be announcing a special partnership with Kit and Clowder’s online coloring classes a bit later today. Stay tuned!
