Summery Hues!

Hi Blogger pals,

Today's card using the fresh and bright summery tones. It's a Guest design project for a Team of Instagram crafty friends.

• Stamped the Ton Stamps - Peonies in Antique Linen DI onto Arches cold pressed watercolor paper.
• Watercolored using Gansai Tambi Watercolors and used Prisma colored pencils for deepening the shadows.
• Fussy cut and kept aside.
• Took another white cardstock.
• Heavily sponged Peacock feathers DO over it, leaving the central portion.
• Then air dried it and used MFT 3 D embossing folder to create a patterned textured background for the ink blended focal blend.
• Added the fussy cut florals over the panel using foam adhesive.
• Heavily splattered the white paint over the panel.
• Sentiment from Inspired by stamping onto vellum using Archival black ink and added this banner over to the focal panel.
• Few clear dew droplets are added as accents.

Hope you like it!
