Hello Power Poppy friends! It’s Christine with you here today and we’re headed into harvest season this month with The Blossom Challenge and our theme “Eat Your Fruit and Veggies”. Today I am showing off our “vegan” concept with two cards celebrating both gratitude and yummy fruit and veggies.
My first design showcases Power Poppy’s Cabbage Patch set. Each of these cabbages or kale are coloured with Copic Markers and trimmed out. I have more photos of this design on my blog, as well as a short tutorial on how I created the coordinating cabbage and kale background. The mini-slimline size is perfect size for this design to make it feel long and lean, and with lots of room for the images, sentiment banner and background.
The sentiment is from the polymer version of this set, which is embossed in white and inked in black below. I love all the rich green colour! It’s the colour I love best!
Marcy always does little vignettes so charmingly and they are such a delight to colour. I started with Copics for this design and then finished off the colouring with Prismacolor Pencils to add in the fine details.
The background is a Kraft panel that was masked off with tape and then Distress Oxide Ink was added (Crackling Campfire, Abandoned Coral, Fossilized Amber and Seedless Preserves). After splattering with water and some white ink and it was dry, I ran the panel through with a pierced die. I love the look it gives. It’s finished off with some patterned paper, inked die cut leaves and enamel dots.
