Just picked this peony bouquet from my garden for Darnell's birthday! The celebration is on the CAS Watercolour Challenge blog. This bouquet was created by stamping and masking, dabbing Distress Oxide inks with a dauber and cotton swab in two shades of pink Distress Oxide ink, spitzing with water to make the colors run/blotting with a paper towel, then painting with clear Wink of Stella to make the colors run a little more. The leaves were colored using the same process (although no WOS on them). The bouquet was masked to blend the back ground then lightly spritzed. The sentiments were stamped over the bottom of the bouquet. Extra sparkle, of course, was created using silver sequins.
Thank you for visiting and commenting ... always appreciate your feedback.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Marilyn! I love peonies! We had them all around town when I grew up, but we can't grow them here, so it's very special that you used a peony bouquet for my birthday celebration! Love the coloring, schparkle, and the way you placed your sediment!! Hugs, Darnell
