Peony

 


A clean and simple floral in beautiful colours inspired by a couple of challenges.

The white panel has an embossed border (a really old Cuttlebug EF).  Firstly white card is coloured with JuiseyArt hybrid inks, then stamped with the outline peony stamp & diecut (Couture Creations stamp & die set). I used Copics to add shadows and detail to the flower & leaves, and Wink of Stella to the petal edges for a bit of sparkle (see detail pic).  Leaves stamped on a snippet of card,  and on a snippet left from that, the sentiment (Waffle Flower) is stamped & die cut.  The flower is popped up in foam tape to create a soft shadow.

A beautiful bold bloom Carol and like your colour palette, perfect for our We Love Stamping theme (the embossed element would fit Allsorts!), thanks so much for joining us.

What a beauty Carol - love the detail in the embossing - that is so eye catching. The big blousy peony is stunning - nothing more was needed
