Power Poppy for the Front Lines

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by.

I hope you are staying well and enjoying lots of creative time!


I've been spending a lot of time practicing with my Copic markers.
I'm getting more comfortable with them largely because of these
gorgeous Digital Designs from Power Poppy.

Marcella is having a fantastic sale right now and I've fully taken advantage of it.

Actually this is a free design and I found it an amazing piece for practice.
Of course it led me to purchase many more digital designs.
At these prices I could get twice as many!

This is a background design so I cut it down and got two cards.


These are the colors I used.



Challenges:
Power Poppy Creative Confetti Challenge: Flowers for the Front Lines

I recently sent a bunch of cards to the ER at a local hospital.  They are my heroes to face all they do every day.  What would we do without them?


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Your Copic coloring is beautiful, Bonnie. I've been doing a little practicing too although I only have a few Copics.

Nstiz said...

Wow, I have been trying for years to work with copics! Not easy but what a fabulous job you did with them. These are SO well done, Bonnie! They are gorgeous! Beautiful work!

JoAnn said...

Love the idea of sending cards to the local ER.
That is such a wonderful thing to do.

This thank you card looks great! Love the burst of colour.

What stunning and dramatic cards and fabulous colouring Bonnie x. We simply could not do without the ER department x.

Loll said...

Fantastic copic colouring Bonnie. You have done amazing work with this beatuiful daisies. The staff at the ER are going to love getting these cards. Love them paired with black ... really makes the bright colours of the daisies pop! Great work, my sweet friend! xx

Susan said...

Fabulous work with your copic colouring - your practice is paying off big time! Such a beautiful and cheerful cards - sure to delight the recipients.

Pat said...

Two beautiful ways of using that pretty PP digital image Bonnie. , and a freebie too, how great. I love the colours and the contrast with the black card on both. x

Marcia Hill said...

Both cards are absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie and your coloring is fabulous...you went right from beginner to pro with those Copics!! Love the colors you used too and how they pop against the black!! I struggle with Copics and digi's because the black ink smears. Michele told me to heat set and wait 24 hours which I have tried, but still I get the smearing. Any helpful tips from your end?? I just sent 30 thank you cards off to our local hospital last week, so I too am hoping that they will brighten someone's day who is doing work that I can't even imagine how hard it must be. Hope you're staying well and safe...I am too...just a little cabin fever! Hugs. :0)

TK said...

Beautiful, no more practice needed -- you're there girl! Love the pretty sunflowers

Trina P. said...

So sweet of you and the front line will definitely appreciate it. Wow! Your Copic colouring is gorgeous, Bonnie. Such a clever idea to cut up the background piece. I should have checked out the sale at Power Poppy. Actually, I wish I did digital... it sure would save me a lot of money. 😂

Vicky Hayes said...

My goodness your colouring is wonderful Bonnie!
I agree with you about the front-liners - I think about them every time I'm tempted to complain! Vicky x

Jo said...

WOW, what a beautiful bouquet. You are really good with Copics. I love both cards, the black is the perfect contrast and really bring those blooms forward. Two beauties! xx

Barbara said...

Both of these cards are over the top amazing and well be so appreciated by the ER staff. I have a niece and lots of friends that are working the Emergency Departments and have said that they are so please with a note of kindness. Thanks for joining in the Creative Confetti Challenge

Leslie Miller said...

Bonnie, this is amazing! Your coloring is gorgeous and I love when I see Power Poppy, especially the digis. Wow! The word "hero" is sometimes used loosely, but our health care workers are the very definition. Words can never express enough thanks.

The black background makes the colors more intense. I love both cards, I think they have worthily thanked medical staff.
