Peony Garden

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Quite a while back my friend Nance came for a play day and brought
some of her glimmer plates for me to try.

This Peony Print was one of them.  I foiled them in pewter and in gold.

They sat in my UFO box for some time and I decided it was time 
to finish them up for cards.

This is with the pewter foiling.


I colored it with Copic markers.  I'm sorry that I didn't make a notation of which
markers I used.  Usually I do that before I put the markers away.

All that was needed was a foiled sentiment on a piece of vellum to finish this up.


This one done with the gold foil worked perfectly for my brother and sister-in-law's
50th anniversary.

I found a snippet of a textured gold cardstock to put the sentiment on.

Challenges:
Four Seasons  - Spring
Inkspirational #315 - Seasonal (Spring, my peonies just finished blooming)

  1. Your peony garden is beautiful, Bonnie, and what a wonderful job of coloring those flowers. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls. No coloring was the perfect way to make a 50th anniversary card. I'm sure they'll love it.
