DAY 28. Poppies & Giveaway

challenge_graphic-June-650

Hello Friends, How is your weekend going? Have you been able to find some time to color or craft this weekend?

IMG_6308

My friend Jennifer introduced me to this wonderful new-ish company with the most amazing stamps. It’s called Power Poppy and they have such clever artistic designs.

FullSizeRender 4

Time was good to me today and I was able to color this beautiful stamp. I was a good girl and took note of the poppy colors in case you were interested.

FullSizeRender 2

I cut two of the flowers in the center to pop up….they are called POPpys after all right lol. After I cut them out I slightly bend the petals up so they aren’t flat and more cupped. I always color under the cut flower to complete the flower.

FullSizeRender 3

Three different copic color combos for the poppys and I used an orange and yellow for the center. I reached out to Power Poppy to see if they wanted to do something for the challenge. So….. they were super nice and  generous!! I have TWO stamp sets to giveaway!!  You know the drill by now right? Just leave me a comment and I will announce a random winner a few days after the challenge ends.

Always grateful for your visit and see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    Like POPcorn, you can’t have just one Poppy. This pops the question, how many poppies are too much? Certainly not a number that pops into my head. Hope the giveaway fairies are kind and they pop one of these stamp sets in the mail to me.

The Power Poppy DT is awesome but I just love the vibrant colors you choose so often in these flowers.

    These poppies just POP! Awesome! How sweet of them to donate stamps to give away. I can’t believe the challenge is almost done, I shall be sad–but will have a bunch of cards to assemble, which will be fun, I’m amazed that my favorite way to color has been with pastels and a brush, I was really into water colors, but now I’ve found the pastels and I love it!

I have the most difficult time coming up with color combos. Wish I had the energy to be crafty this weekend…here in WA state, we’ve been having temps in the upper 80s and 90s. Most people, including myself, don’t have air conditioning. I get cranky when temps get to 75 degrees…LOL!! Needless to say, it’s been too stinkin’ hot to do anything.

    Hi Kathy, due to being hit with a tornado and still undergoing dealings with contractor’s and insurance company’s I have missed out on so many days but trying to catch up. To make things worse our electric company surged our entire home and blew up all of my appliances and numerous other electrical pieces throughout our home. I finally have a day of peace so far to connect and watch your beautiful methods and art filled pieces. I only hope to be some what as good as you one day. Thanks for being here for all of us and bringing peace to an otherwise hectic time.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 29, 2015 at 6:17 pm

      Bobbie, You certainly have had destructive challenges to deal with. I’m glad to hear you are safe but so sad to hear about all you are dealing with. I’m glad I could bring you some peace. Hugs! 🙂

  298. Beth Ross says

    June 29, 2015 at 2:23 pm

    Oops! I meant Power Poppy! Kathy, the card is beautiful! A question: on the 2 poppies that you cut out and layered, did you color the popped-up flowers the same color as the ones underneath? They appear darker. Or is it just the lighting?

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 30, 2015 at 7:42 pm

      Beth, I did use the same colors underneath but didn’t spend as much time on the underneath or the entire image. You can make the underneath outer edge a little darker to add shadow or dimension. :0

    Hi Kathy, I love your poppies, you have a beautiful ability to give your coloring dimension. I actually pulled out my supplies, some from the last 30 days of color (I got a little carried away with ordering the stamps you used) and although I broke my arm (dominate wrist) I did attempt several Copic and Zig clean colors cards, lets just say not a success but it helped the color crave, haha! I had my cast removed today…but still wearing a splint…YAY!!! Can’t wait for the next 30 days! Thanks again Kathy!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      July 6, 2015 at 8:49 pm

    Your Power Poppy cards are incredibly beautiful!! I simply must find a nubby rag so that I can do the texture with my Copics. I have the big bottle of Various Ink so I just need to sit down and do it! One of the things I love about your coloring is the dark out line and your gift for shadowing. Both techniques add so much drama and life to your projects. I’m trying to add those elements to my coloring thanks to you.

  338. Linda Miller says

Am a big fan of Marcella’s stamps, and have a few, but I think Poppies need to be next on my list. Love the Pop-up touch…always makes your image “pop” out. It is good you have a friend who introduced you to Power Poppy. It is always exciting to see what Marcella comes up with next. Thank You for sharing your beautiful artwork.
