peony for you

Hello friends! I have been working on watercoloring. I recently bought some actual watercolor paints, before I had only worked with ink refills. Boy, are they fun! I love working with watercolor. I find it very relaxing, but I have a loooong way to go on my technique.

For today’s card, I die cut the large peony from the Peony die set out of water color paper. I used the tropical paint pallet I recently got to color the flower this gorgeous bright pink.

I edged the flower and leaves with some gold shimmer paint. The black and white polka dots provide a great base for the bold flower. I love back and white with a pop of color! Add in a touch of gold, and voila!

Thanks for stopping by! Join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!
