Nichole Heady gave us a gorgeous watercolored art piece to inspire our projects this month.
I fully intended to softly watercolor the clear embossed Peonies on Parade images, but somehow ended up with more vibrant tones and loved them too much to do over.
Two of the peonies are stamped on the panel and the large one is die cut and added after along with a couple of leaf clusters. The Keep It Simple: Birthday sentiment is inked with Versamark first and then layered with a gray ink before being heat embossed.
I am linking this card to Seize the Birthday where the Toppings is Dimension, which is provided with the popped up die cut and the rainstones on this card.
There are so many beautiful cards in the gallery, I hope you get a chance to check them out! Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie
