Power Poppy Power

While I was cruising online looking for color combos for a Power Poppy image I just purchased, I ran across Passionate Paper Creations by Rhea.  OMG, her coloring of this image is out of this world!  I totally CASed her work and wish mine looked half as good as hers.

I did the background first when normally I would save that for last because I'm so eager to dive right into the fun part :)   I'm glad I did tho--it was a lot easier to fix boo boos...lots of boo boos.  I'll be coloring this again when I have more blue colors.  In this case, I used gray to tone it done some. I like the effect.  I also love the sentiment from PTI's Meadow Greens which I got around Xmas.  Is this really the first time I've used it??

  11. I can't imagine how gorgeous Rhea's card is, if your card is half as good, Toni! I suspect that your work of art is every bit as good! It certainly made my jaw drop! I will be using my Pin of this for inspiration since I have that sediment and I have an awesome (NBUS) corner garden set from SU that I just HAD to have, but now I'm nervous about my ability to color it. It is so nice to have examples and stampers to pave the way!! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #4!! Hugs, Darnell
