Power Poppy - The Sky's The Limit

Power Poppy has started a new monthly challenge called Power & Spark.  The challenge this month is to look into the sky and see how the lush and radiant colors inspire you.

Here's my card


A few years ago, we spent some time at Ft Myers in Florida.  This was at the end of summer.  We spent many evening on the beach watching the sunsets.  These are the beautiful, vibrant colors that I remember.  I sponged the background with Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry & Spiced Marmalade.  I love this color combination.  I used the Camellias image from Power Poppy and colored with Copics in shades of bright pink. The sentiment from the Azalea stamp set was embossed in black on a piece of Vellum. The dies are from Spellbinders.  Thanks for coming by to look!

The Recipe:
Power Poppy Camellias, Azalea (sentiment)
Lil' Inkers Stitched Scalloped Border
Spellbinders Classic Ovals & Lacy Ovals
MME enamel dots
Vellum
Distress Ink Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade
