The first Power and Spark challenge of 2017. I am your host this month with Winter Blooms! Woot woot... break out the flowers girls, this month is about winter blossoms. Did you know there are lots of blooms that sprout at the end of winter? How about Crocus, Camellias, Paperwhites, Snowdrops, Holly, Poinsettias and Succulents to name a few. I would say not to stop there, how about those early spring bloomers. Check out the Power Poppy Blog as Marcy has a list of blooms you will enjoy playing with. To make it even easier she has a link in the store with all the options for Winter Blooms. Let's see how you can bring these pretty little petals to life and enjoy this last bit of winter as well. I can't wait to see what blooms you play with this month!
Why not start the year off with some Camellias! Oh what a beautiful flower don't you think. This wonderful flower is in a stamp form called Simply Camellias and a digi format called Camillas if you need a quick print. These are stamped on white cardstock and colored with various Copic markers. I added some Y00 to the ends of the petals for a softer look and I like how it turned out. A textured flower for the green panel that I have used maybe a few times. Need to start using this stuff more I tell you. My sentiment is from Party Time stamped to the left of the flowers. A few scattered pearls and sparkle to finish it off, voila!

Lovely image...lovely coloring with glitter stickles applied to the flower petals. Multi-color layers with the green layer embossed gives texture and dimension to the card. Paper colors are perfect to bring into and color your beautiful flower image.
