These florals are two of my very favorites and I’m so happy to have them in both digital and polymer formats! I tried something fun with my card today.
I stamped the peony image with VersaFine ink on watercolor paper, then I used various re-inkers and a paint brush to watercolor the image. I wet the entire image and dropped color onto it with the paintbrush, letting it flow loosely around it. Then I used the same paintbrush to splatter paint randomly around the image.
I cut out the image with a Blossom Five die from Spellbinders. The patterned paper is from the Market paper pad by MME. I hand cut the banners the sentiment is stamped on and added a simple tulle flower and some punched leaves. I thought I was pretty savvy when it came to plants and flowers, but Marcy schooled us on the terminology of the peony bloom…it’s called a bomb. Cool, huh? Mine should be blooming any day now and I can’t wait!
Some of the Bloom Brigade ladies have samples to share today so don’t miss them!
