Peony in Jar

 


I was a recent winner of a challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty and was invited to be a Guest Designer on the new challenge #499 which starts today. There are 2 sponsors 



There are 2 sponsors for this challenge and I have chosen to work with this beautiful image Peony in Jar  from Fred She Said Designs.



I coloured this image using Promarkers adding pencils for shading and depth and a little white gel pen to the glass jar. The image has been fussy cut and popped up on some thing foam pads.

The panel behind the image is a Create a Card Torn Panel die from Crafter’s Companion. I cut some pearlescent card which is embossed with tiny butterflies. I created a shaker panel by adding beads and sequins sandwiched between acetate and a subtle pink patterned paper.

The card front has been covered with a rose floral paper which was a magazine freebie. I added the panel at a jaunty angle and popped the peony image on. I embellished with some more sequins and some pale pink dew drops (they were originally going to go in the shaker but were too bulky)

The sentiment has been recycled from a shop bought card and matted onto some brighter pink card to accentuate the shade in the flower. Finally I added some transparent silver metallic butterfly stickers to offcuts of the pale pink paper.

This is a really pretty card and not one I would normally make all inspired by the beautiful image.

Thank you to Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge for inviting me to be a Guest Designer this time.
