Growing in Unity - Day Two

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for the lovely comments left on yesterday's post.

Well today I have a birthday card for you. I pulled out my Donna Peony stamp set and stamped the outline peony three times onto smooth watercolour paper. Then using Sugar Plum Twinkling H20 I painted the flowers. After fussy cutting them out I layered them onto 5 1/2 inch square card. When you hold the card on different angles the shimmer in the flowers is so pretty. A couple of hand cut leaves and some inking finishes off this card.


Here I'm trying to show the glorious shimmer in the paint.

That's it for today. I hope you find some inspiration maybe pull out your old pots of Twinkling H2Os and have some fun painting. Don't forget to leave a comment to be eligible to win one of the 2 prizes on offer at the end of the week, courtesy of the fabulous Unity Stamps.

Take care and happy crafting, see you tomorrow!
Helen xx

    These big flowers are so striking on this card and the layers are perfect. I will have to pull out my Twinkling H2O paints to use.
