Peaceful Peonies

Hello friends...happy Friday!  Fridays are release days at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and today we are adding four new stamp sets to the SNSS Store.  My sample was created with the beautiful new Peaceful Peonies stamp set designed by Nina Brackett.

Creative Nugget:  Several sentiments from Peaceful Peonies as well as many more from current SNSS sets were placed on my Misti Tool and stamped with a light pink ink.  This panel was cut with a pierced rectangle die and sponging was added around the edges.  Watercolors were painted on watercolor paper and a chevron stencil placed over it and air dried creating some texture.  The triangle and sentiment layers were cut from this watercolor piece.  I love creating my own backgrounds, but my very favorite technique is Copic coloring.  The peony was colored twice and the flower part of the second one was fussy cut and popped on the first image for more texture.  A sentiment from the Peaceful Peonies set was white embossed and added to the card along with a bow made from metallic thread.

Peaceful Peonies is available now as a pre-order from the 

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.

This card will be submitted for the following challenges:
