Watercolor Peonies

Dear Ones~

Another gloomy day....expecting lake effect snow for the next week. But I don't care - more time to craft. My talented BFF, Barb Campbell (check her blog HERE) is hosting this week over at the Mod Squad Challenge, so of course I had to play along. Her challenge is to use Hearts and/or Flowers. So here's some flowers:

I so love the look of white embossing with watercolor. This image by Altenew is perfect for that technique. I had heard that Zigs really like pearlized paper. I had a pad that I forgot about, so I got it out and used it here. The Zigs worked wonderfully. The paper is very smooth and quite non-porous, so the Zigs blend with each other nicely. I also saw a  tip the other day that I had to try, and it's awesome. Adhere a sequin to your card, and then fill it with Glossy Accents. It makes kind of an enamel dot, but different, because the shininess of the sequin shows through. I LOVE the effect.
