The theme for this week's Daring Cardmakers dare comes from the lovely Sharon - we definitely seem to share a brain when it comes to our shopping tastes and funnily enough as soon as I knew what the dare for this week would be I already had my stamp set of choice in mind!
But Sharon beat me to it, so I decided to show a little love to a set I've not used in a while. But there still had to be that 2-step stamping to create that watercolour look. :)
Enter the Pretty Peonies set by WPlus9:
Paper: MME, Simple Stories, AC glitter paper
Stamps: WPlus9
Dies: WPlus9
Other: kraft label, heart doily, 3D foam tape
I used a mixture of Adirondack dye inks for the flowers and leaves, I still think Lettuce is one of the best greens for foliage! It's not too brown and it's just dark enough for a bit of contrast. I used a water brush on the flowers to blend the colours a little but it's so subtle with these shades of pink.
Well, there are some awesome watercolour card designs from the Design Team - so remember to pop on over to the blog and to join in! :)
That's a great card. I love your water colour roses!!!
