Sabrina's challenge is all about tea. Used tea for the bg. It is also for the month's sketch challenge at Power Poppy. http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/2017/...hat-spark.html
Using this new digi...painted with the water color paints. Added the tea for the bg, and did shade it darker with paint. Added gold dots, and with my pen and nib added flourishes and dots. Last June our Botanical Garden had a Peony show....lovely array of this beautiful flower. This flower has evolved through the years....one of the first flowers that was planted from my grandmother in my garden at the farm. I have the fushia, pink and white from her. To me they are the heirloom variety. When we moved they came with me. Expanded the garden with a Chinese peony, and one from the botanicial garden...it's orange with yellow hues. Hoping it will blossom this year. TFL

Your talent always leaves me in utter awe. The flower and bg are colored so expertly. This has a lovely antique look and the flower just bursts right off the page.

Love your tea background and it seems just what that lovely rose was calling out to be used with it. The embossed framing around it just adds to the beauty. How wonderful you have your grandmother's gift of peonies with you. I love peonies.
