I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto the Whisper White circle in Flirty Flamingo ink. I added a sprinkling of dots in 2^nd generation Early Espresso ink before the Lipstick was added with liquid glue.

Water Coloured Peony

Posted on June 30, 2020June 23, 2020 by Mo Rootes

I have made a sweet water coloured peony card made using the gorgeous Prized Peony and the new Water Painter’s and I love them!!

To recreate the Water coloured Peony card you will need:

Gray Granite card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Granny Apple Green – 5⅞” by 1⅞”
Daffodil Delight – 5⅞” by ½”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner
Shimmery White – 5” by 3 ¼” – rounded upper left corner

I began by running the piece of Granny Apple Green card through my embossing machine in the Tin Tile embossing folder and adhered it to the Gray Granite card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty card featuring a golden water coloured peony made using the Prized Peony stamp set

The large peony image was inked up using the Daffodil Delight Marker for the flower and Granny Apple Green Marker for the stem and leaves. I love that we can use the markers in this way. The image was stamped onto the Shimmery White panel. Using the Water Painters I coloured in the flower using only the ink on the stamped image. I did the same for the leaves and stems.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty card featuring a golden water coloured peony made using the Prized Peony stamp set

After the image dried I started adding Mango Melody ink to the shaded areas of the flower with the small Water Painter. This gives more definition to the flower. I left the panel to dry completely.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty card featuring a golden water coloured peony made using the Prized Peony stamp set

Using the dark Granny Apple Green I coloured in a strip of Whisper White Crinkle Ribbon and let it dry. The ribbon was then wrapped around the stamped panel and a bow added with a Glue Dot.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty card featuring a golden water coloured peony made using the Prized Peony stamp set

I die cut the border from the Daffodil Delight card using the Ornate Borders dies and used the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue it to the back of the stamped panel, trimming off the excess with scissors.

So pretty, I hope you like it.
