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!
