I used my new Mondo Peony from Essentials by Ellen for the first time for my card today! I used several shades of orange distress inks to watercolor the flower (Carved Pumpkin, Ripe Persimmon and Rusty Hinge), and for the leaves I used Twisted Citron and Crushed Olive. The sentiment is from Oh Frappe, I inked it selectively and left off the word "coffee". The black enamel dots were made using Nuvo Crystal Drops. I recently ordered my first 3 colors of these drops (black, white, and gold), and I have to say I love them and I'll definitely be ordering more colors!
Hope you're having a terrific weekend, thanks for stopping by today!
This is a beautiful card! I love the colors with the black and white background accents! Thank for sharing your gorgeous creation!
