I decided to use one of the peonies I stamped on the weekly sketch from My Favorite Things. This is a very versatile sketch.
I stamped the head of the peony in distress oxide ink Abandoned Coral. I left my stamp in my Misti and colored the image. I then restamped the image and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. It gives it a little more detail in real life (very hard to see in the photo). I fussy cut the bloom out.
I took the Rectangle Trio Stencil and stenciled the design on the background panel. I had to stencil it twice to cover the width of the panel. I added some splatters of the same color to the stenciled area.
I stamped the stem on another piece of card stock which I had smooshed in the same color ink (have you gotten the picture that this is mostly a monochromatic colored card). I then colored the stem and leaves with a very light wash of coral. The sentiment was stamped on a piece of colored card stock. I added black striped paper to the back of the sentiment to shake things up a little. Both panels were matted with black. The panel the bloom is on is layered with foam to give it a little dimension.
Of course, I had to add a few black splatters.
This is a fun sketch to play with. Thanks for stopping by - I must go I am coloring more peonies tonight. I have my watercolor brush markers out.
