Peony Background...
   Hello!! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!  The weather has been beautiful here in the northeast!  Today's card features this beautiful background stamp from Hero Arts and a bit of watercoloring using Distress inks.  To begin, I stamped BG stamp then gold heat embossed onto a piece of watercolor paper.  I then began watercoloring these peonies using a waterbrush and Distress inks.  Next, I die cut scalloped rectangle around panel.  To finish, I die cut "you" sentiment from cardstock,  stamped "thank" onto a piece of cardstock, then heat embossed.  Assembled elements, adhered panel to card base using fun foam, adhered sentiments, and added sequins.  Wishing everyone a great start to the week, thanks so much for stopping by...take care!  Please note: this card has been submitted to the current SimonSaysStamp Wednesday Challenge blog.
