Hey there!! Hope you have been having a good weekend. Our crazy January weather has returned.... rain and wind! And with weather like that staying inside makes lots of sense, lol!!! I have a card for the current Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights challenge, as well as the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I pulled a few of the colors from the inspiration photo to make my card. I used the EE Mondo Peony stamp set and colored two of the images using Faber-Castell Art Grip Aquarelle pencils in two shades of purple. The leaves were colored with Derwent watercolor pencils in two shades of green. I cut down some purple cardstock to 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches and then adhered a layer of vellum that was cut slightly smaller. The leaves and the flowers were layered on top. One of the colors in the palette looks like gold to me so I heat embossed the sentiment from the EE set Lovely in gold on black cardstock, trimmed it down and layered it on top of the flowers. Going to add this to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge, as well.
Hope you have a wonderful day!
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI Royal Velvet, black, vellum; Canson cold pressed watercolor; Stamps: Essentials by Ellen; Ink: VersaFine Smoky Gray, VersaMark watermark; Watercolor Medium: Faber-Castell and Derwent watercolor pencils; Embossing powder: Tsukineko gold
