Poppies for a Flowerful Friday

Happy Flowerful Friday, friends!  I have to say, by the time I got to this card I was really feeling the need to color some beautiful flowers.  I looked through my digi box and decided on Power Poppy's Perfect Poppies.  I like to keep a collection of digis printed up, but for flexibility I generally leave the sentiment off.  This image is combined with a sentiment from a retired PP set.



I can only go so long without some serious coloring, and it's been a lot more fun since I started using Tombows with my homemade blender pen on watercolor paper.  I know... I sound like a broken record when it comes to this coloring method, but I do dearly enjoy it.  It looks like watercolor, but is easier than anything.



The simple card recipe is listed below my signature, but first let's see more Power Poppy designs by:

Thanks so much for sharing your time with me.  Enjoy the rest of your day!

    This image is so pretty and your coloring is amazing. I guess if I had more time I'd try doing different mediums. For now, I stick to COpics. Stay well. How are the kids doing? I haven't seen them in awhile.
