First day of spring - bring on the flowers!

Happy first day of spring!   
You'd never know it by the cold weekend we just had here in Illlinois.  Brrr!  Since I can't plant outside I thought I'd do a little watercoloring inside and  whipped up this pretty little card using the Large Peony 2 stamps by The Ton and some distress inks.


This is my first time working with this beauty and it was so fun.  I was experimenting and while the shading isn't perfect it did have the watercolor look that I was going for.  I clear embossed it first so it was much easier to control the flow of water and ink.

For this card I used the following supplies:
Stamps:  Large Peony 2 (The Ton).  Ink: peeled paint, crushed olive, broken china, tumbled glass, milled lavender (Ranger Distress Ink), onyx black (Versafine), clear watermark (Versamark).  Paper:  white 140 lb cardstock (Neenah).  Accessories: Lattice Frame die (WPlus9), clear sequins, clear embossing powder (WOW).

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
