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)

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.

Two gorgeous cards, Bonnie! Your beautifully colored peonies look fabulous with the pewter foiling, and I'm particularly taken with the textured gold on your anniversary card. It's nice to have such lovely things in your UFO box, and especially nice when crafty friends come to visit!

Gorgeous image that Nance brought to play with. LOVE the peonies in pink. :) Wonderful colouring as always, Bonnie. And perfect design with the vellum sentiment banner. It's gorgeous done in gold too and I love the way you've finished the card with the strip of textured gold. xx

what beautiful cards using this lovely cover plate Bonnie! My peonies are still closed up buds but we have been having sunny warm weather for a few days so I'm sure one day Ill look out and they will have popped open! Beautiful coloring on your first card and oh so elegant in the gold foiling alone on the 2nd! Thanks for sharing with us at Inkspirational: seasonal! Julia xx
