I’m playing with this awesome Peonies set from Hero Arts on vellum as part of out monthly challenge over at The Flower Challenge.
I stamped this beautiful image on vellum with Versmark ink and heat embossed it in gold. Then I flipped the paper over to color the flower with color pencils. I used Mulberry, Process Red, and Rose and blended them the white pencil. I love the soft color these pencils have on vellum.
To create the background I took the Hero Arts Scrollwork stencil and watercolor paper and applied gold acrylic paint with my paint brush. I also added some black splatters to add a bit of interest.
I covered the background with the vellum and added sequins and the sentiment which is heat embossed in the same gold.
Thanks for stopping by and I can’t wait to see what you create!
