Papertrey Ink May 2016 Blog Hop

I'm participating in the Papertrey Ink May 2016 Blog Hop today with this card.




Nichole Heady gave us a gorgeous watercolored art piece to inspire our projects this month.

Blog hop inspiration


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

  12. Beautiful, beautiful card Jacquie! Those lovely Peonies remind me of sherbet the way you colored them, so I think they fit the inspiration photo just perfectly! And I wouldn't have re-done the card either, as I just LOVE how bright and bold your colors came out! Love it!! :0)

  21. Wow, stunning water coloring on these gorgeous flowers. Love how you were able to get multiple colors together, but they did not run into brown. Perhaps I need a lesson.
