Grateful Peonies

We’ve been busy celebrating Thanksgiving but hopefully you are enjoying all the wonderful holiday sales this week including the Hero Arts one! Have you had the chance to join in on our monthly challenge. This month the theme is “Grateful” which is perfect for the holiday season.

I love coloring flowers and these Hero Art Peonies are the perfect addition to any thank you card.

I started off by stamping the peonies on Copic friendly card stock using Copic friendly black ink. I wanted a light pink flower so I choose the following Copics: RV23, RV10, R00, and RV0000. I added some R85 at the darkest part of the petals to add a little more depth. I added a little yellow in the center of the flower as well.

Once, I finished coloring the flowers, I used a black pen to re-trace the lines to give them a crisp look. I dind’t want to cover up these gorgeous flowers so decided to pull out the vellum. I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Black ink and clear heat embossed it on the vellum and then adhered the card to an aquamarine card base.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week. Don’t forget to enter our challenge this month for an awesome prize.
