Are you ready for five more new Power Poppy stamp sets? Today we introduce Collection Two of the Quiet Christmas release, starting with Forest Fellas.
Love, love, love this set of woodsy critters all dressed up for winter! Marcella has made them big enough for impact, yet small enough for us to enjoy designing a card around them. They're available as digital downloads, too, but today I'm representing the physical stamp set so you can see the actual size on an A2 card.
My cool guy is colored with Copics and hanging out on plaid and wood grain. I added a little sparkle around him, but otherwise it's a simple image panel. On future cards I'll use some of the accent stamps to create more of a scene.
If you haven't been there yet, be sure to visit the Power Poppy Blog to see Marcella's post and more uber-cute samples. Lots more to come. Stay cool!
Ack! I love this card Leslie! You made the 'cool guy' look amazing with your colouring! Love everything about this, so rustic, fantastic papers and layout! And your right, you could use this image more than just a Christmas card, a great masculine card. Love this set, can't wait to see the next critter you decide to colour! Thanks for sharing today, looking forward to the rest of the release! Keep well!
ReplyDeleteThis set looks so neat! I love all of the other little creatures! Your bear is so cute and definitely lives up to the sentiment you used! You are right that this set can be used all year long! Joe would love the moose! Take care!

He certainly is a laid-back critter, for sure. I can see him reclining in a La-Z-Boy watching a little TV. :) You've colored him amazingly, of course, and finished off the card perfectly.
ReplyDeleteSo much adorable detail on your staying cool Winter dressed up bear, Leslie. Love your woodgrain and plaid backgrounds too. Your Copics coloring is gorgeous as always. A card to enjoy and treasure, my friend. Can't wait to see a scene with more of the adorable critters. TFS. Love and Hugs...Nancy

Oh, Leslie, I LOVE your sweet bear and agree that he is just oh so charming, relaxed, and yet quite the dapper fella with the watch. Hehe! Your coloring is fabulous, and I hesitated about coloring mine since black bears are so friendly (for bears). Just love his scarf too and the wonderful papers and layout! Totally charming and delightful, my friend. You always delight us with everything you do. I agree with Paula about being eager to see what you do with the other "fellas" in this set!! Hugs and love! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSheeesh!! We finally got the Internet back, it's been off since maybe 9am.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love this sweet image, I just want to hug this bear, wonderful coloring as always, my friend, and your layout and details makes this card a feast for the eyes.
Love your pattern papers too, just beautiful.
Thank you for sharing.
Stay healthy and safe.
Hugs,
Maria.

ReplyDeleteLeslie he is totally adorable! I like that you went with a black bear. The papers, sketch and your coloring are awesome. Totally diggin this!
ReplyDeleteSo many times I've passed up a stamp or die, because they didn't appeal to me. But then I stop by and see the cutest card made with one or the other. This is just the case with this bear!! I love everything about this card. And he put a smile on my face.
