Bird Crazy by Tim Holtz, Art du Jour, and April Online Class Registration now open!

Published on by Rowhouse GreetingsLeave a comment

This past Tuesday was Art du Jour at The Queen’s Ink and we sold out of cards within a few hours! I had to scramble to make a few extra kits so that everyone who wanted a card could make one. This is only my third month participating in Art du Jour and I never know what to expect, but it was a delight seeing so many come out to join in on the fun despite the threat of bad weather.

I had two cards available and I am listing the supplies below. If you didn’t get a chance to come out, you can still make these cards on your own. Stamps, paper and other supplies are available at The Queen’s Ink (and remember – Patti can order for you if something you want is not in stock).

The next Art du Jour is on Tuesday, April 10th. You can drop by between 10:30 and 4:30 and craft to your heart’s content! At $3.00 per project, you can quickly build up a stash of cards, tags, etc. for any occasion.

Don’t forget – my next Copic card class at The Queen’s Ink is on Tuesday, April 3rd. Online registration is now available! You need to bring your own markers to class, so be sure you check out the class description so you will have the necessary supplies.

And with no further ado – here’s the supply list from the March Art du Jour cards.

Below are the supplies I’ve used for today’s project. Items marked with an asterisk (*) were provided by a store or the manufacturer for free or at a discount. All other items were personally purchased. Read more.

Rowhouse Greetings | Cup of Columbine by Power Poppy

New Release! Cup of Columbine by Power Poppy

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings3 Comments

Time for another new digital release from Power Poppy and this one is another winner. Cup of Columbine features Columbine (Aquilegia) flowers intermingle with ruffled miniature Hosta leaves for a bouquet that will tickle your coloring fancy all the way through summer. You get two designs — one with the flowers and teacup only, and a second, more challenging composition with a baby robin snapping up a few of the Columbine seeds. Both images have a lighter “no line” version included.

Rowhouse Greetings | Cup of Columbine by Power Poppy

Marcella challenged us to create a color story of blues and purples which is easy to do because Columbines bloom naturally in so many different colors. Even hostas can be found in shades of vibrant blue and blue-green. My vision for this image gravitated towards vivid blues mixed with varying shades of aqua. After A LOT of experimenting with different marker combinations, I settled on two — B12, B16, B66 and BG00, BG02, BG34 – which I mixed and matched throughout the flowers. Since this digital set does not include a sentiment, I added one from the Daliah XL clear stamp set to complete my card.

Heart Abloom by Power Poppy

Heart Abloom by Power Poppy

Heart Abloom By Power PoppyTake a look at the latest digital release from Power Poppy! Heart Abloom is a tapestry of spring flowers fill a large, lush heart shape in this Color Story adventure! The flowers for this heart were expressly chosen for this scene to celebrate yellows, greens, blues and purples. We have Daffodils and Narcissus, a myriad of single and double Hellebores, Trout Lilies, and then the surprise guest: Blueberries! Now, here’s the thing. Blueberries ripening on the vine start out a very pale greenish-white. The same stem can have a multitude of shades in white, pink, chartreuse, light and dark blue. Hellebores also are cross-pollinated to create loads of color combinations. So, whether you take this Color Story into cool territory with green, blue, deep purple, and white, or something warmer with blushes, yellows, and peachy tones, you are pretty much going to end up with a masterpiece!

Lately, I’ve been designing cards for Copic classes where I try to use a limited number of markers so that my students don’t have to buy a lot of markers in order to take a class. However, this time I got to color just for me and could pull out lots of markers and experiment with color and blends. I’ll try to break down the various combinations here and in the supply list below I’ll simply post the list of markers.

  • Daffodils
    • Flower Combo 1: Y00, Y02, YG11, BV0000, BV00
