Hey there! Hope you are having a lovely weekend! I have another card to share today. This one is for the February Altenew inspiration challenge. Also going to add it to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge. I recently got the Altenew Peony Spray stamp and die set. I just love peonies! I have several plants growing in my yard and look forward to their beautiful blooms every year. So... it just makes sense that I would want to have a few peony related stamp sets in my collection! Using the Altenew inspiration photo I pulled out the lighter shade of pink and the green (although my green isn't that dark) as a starting point. I stamped the peony on Canson watercolor paper using VersaFine Smoky Gray ink and then loosely colored the image with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. When it was dry I die cut it with the matching die. I watercolored a second piece of Canson watercolor paper with a light pink ZIG marker and when it was dry die cut it with the Altenew Watercolor Stripes cover die. I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Onyx Black and then popped the piece up on a light gray cardstock base. I originally had the flower adhered flush with the die cut but didn't like it. Thankfully I was able to remove it and add some foam dimensionals to the back. It looks much better popped up. Finished with some Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear sequins.
Have a wonderful day!!
Supplies: Cardstock: SSS fog, Canson watercolor; Stamps and dies: Altenew; Inks: VersaFine; Watercolor medium: Kuretake Gansai Tambi, ZIG clean color marker; Sequins: Pretty Pink Posh

ReplyDeleteGorgeous delicate pink, Rosemary! Such an elegant way to display your flower on that striped background. We have a peony bush too, and I love to see it bloom.
ReplyDeleteDelicate, feminine and just lovely, Rosemary ... I love the subtle softness of the pink in the stripes ... the hint of colour is gorgeous! Hugs, Anita :)
