For today's Ways to Use it Challenge, and yesterday's sketch challenge.
I really love rich warm colors, lots of coloring - my favourite method being watercolor, raised layers....the whole bit.
So today I went out of my comfort zone and did PASTELS! Understated colors, even a button which is so rare for me! And you know what? I liked it!
The peony is embossed on vellum, colored on the back side with copic markers (I have a small tutorial on my blog if you're interested), and then cut out of the box for the card.
