Marcella saved her beautiful Joy to the World Bouquet for last.
If you love to color, this one is a dream. Remember, all the new stamp sets are available in digital format, too, and those can be enlarged and cropped to create lots of room for a watercolor brush or a Copic nib. Once again, I'm representing the physical stamp set here. You can see it's quite a nice size, filling up this A2 card beautifully. I cropped just a little bit off the top and one edge.
I colored with Copics and trimmed the edge with plaid and a self-adhesive strip of gold. Scattered some gold sequins and done!
And that wraps up Collection #2 of Marcella's Quiet Christmas release. It was, as our Stacy put it, quite a Christmas release! Visit the Power Poppy Blog for more information and gorgeous samples. I must say, I've really enjoyed working with these stamp sets and sharing them with you. Thank you so much for your time!
Leslie my friend, this is just stunning! The warmth of the glow, the edge of tartan plaid, the little gold touches. Absolutely elegant and beautiful.
