French Tulips - PPWORLD1.


I got a new sewing machine. My 39.95 Kenmore gave out.  I bought my new XL2600i for under $90.00 and so far I am loving it.

I sewed my first card with it and it works like a dream.  I am still have a little problem with the corners, but that's the operator's skills or lack of.

This is a little experiment I did by printing digi  directly onto pattern paper. I rather like how it turned out, although blending the Copics was a little challenging and I think that was because of the paper weight. I couldn't lay down too much color or the paper would wrinkle.


I am so in love with these French Tulips from Power Poppy. I just checked and you can still purchase them as a digi.  I cannot tell you the name of the paper as I have lost the cover from the pad.  The plaid was stitched to a heaver green patterned paper from DCWV.

Stamps:  Power Poppy & Stampin Up (sentiment)
Copics:  V09,BV02 BV000, YG11, YG63
Pearls & Dimensional Dots
Paper: DCWV & unknown
Dies: Spellbinders decorative Labes One, Marvelous Squares

I am entering this in Power Poppies first blog challenge, Pop Goes the World - key word PPWORLD1.

This is beautiful! LOVE how you printed it directly on patterned paper. I've never tried that, but if it looks this gorgeous, I might have to! Absolutely awesome.

When I first saw this I thought it was printed on something clear. Very beautiful!

It looks so great on the patterned paper! And I love the graming too! It really fels like spring. Thanks so much for playing along in our first Power Poppy Challenge!

Wow! This is amazing, Gail! I LOVE how the tulips look printed directly onto the plaid paper. The thing that makes it so unusually fabulous is that some of the paper does peek through. Beautiful job, and your stitching looks great! I hardly use my sewing machine for anything other than cards these days. I was pretty excited when I saw that you had made a card for the challenge. I love your work!

I love what you did with this - great idea. I always thought having a little sewing machine would be nice for all those perfect sew details - yours looks great. I fell in love with your image so ordered one for myself! Thanks for sharing. Hugs
