Hello Friends, How was your weekend? I hope it was a good one.
Once a month I enjoy doing a guest feature The Power Poppy Blog for an “Inspire Me Monday” feature. For today I did a little coloring and a shaped card and I really hope you like it.
I fell in love with this beautiful digital stamp. The big question for me was to finish this large print or cut out the flower for a shaped card.
I love shaped cards so that’s what I ended up doing.
I also was itching to ink up this stamp set called, “Orchids Rock”
and how about a quick tutorial.
I have more details on the Power Poppy blog and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow & a big thanks for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

Wow, Kathy, you’ve really made these flowers pop, and I LOVE the shaped card with the single blossom of the clematis! Wow!! Hugs!
Love your shaped card! What impact that would have arriving in the post!
I use a graphics program to paint white over any part of the digital stamp I’m not going to use to save on printer ink. Though, you might be using some of the other flowers for more cards.
So very pretty!
Very nice coloring. The shading is bold and beautifully enhances the image! Thanks for sharing your creativity!
WOW!! Your coloring blows me away! I sit in awe of you every day when I see what you have created for us to see! When I grow up I want to be just like you! These are both absolutely gorgeous and breath taking! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with me!

Absolutely fabulous! I love the shaped card and the way the flowers pop against the dark background. Thank you for sharing! ~M~
That background is uber cool! Since I’ve only colored my orchids and have yet to decide on backgrounds, I just may have to CASE it!! Thanks for the inspiration!
You amaze me!! The background is so fabulous. I am so scared to try something like this because I would get to the end and mess it up!! After all that coloring I would CRY!!
Shaped cards? another new thing. Thanks!
Love love love everything in today’s post, Kathy. As always, superb coloring!!! :o)

This coloring is amazing. I can’t wait to try it. Great inspiration.
Hey Kathy!! What a gorgeous card!! My mind doesn’t think like that…the way you just decided to cut out one flower and make a shaped card. Lol!! The coloring is just beautiful and I love the dark color around the orchids. Very intense!!
Hi Kathy.What a beautiful flower card you’ve made! Thank you for the link to Power Poppy blog,beautiful flower digis and I couldn’t resist buying one!
You always inspire me one way or another 🙂
Gorgeous coloring!

You have really made the flowers come alive! Love your colouring
This is such a gorgeous, simple card–and you’ve introduced me to Power Poppy! Thanks for another great day in the challenge!
I wasn’t sure I would like the dark/black around your second image. But it does make the flowers pop. I like the way you softened the edges with the dots of various grays and the inside with the white. Still don’t think it would be my “go to” but it certainly works with in this case! Thanks for the on going inspiration and motivation!!!
Beautiful coloring
Lovely! Thank you so much for taking the time to include the tutorial. I am just dying to have Copics and to learn how to use them! I’ve been saving things like your tutorial to help me.
Wow! I’m blown away!! Incredible coloring. What a unique way to shape a card. And the second one… I just can’t.. Fantastic flower on black background. It’s amazing!!!!
I love, love both! The shaped card and your awesome orchids. Thanks so much for sharin!

You continue to blow my mind with new ideas, Kathy. Always so beautiful and eye catching whether its copics, pencils or watercolour. You are such an inspiration.
Great cards! Love the idea of the shaped card and the black around the flowers makes them pop!
