For my card I decided to use the peach colored peony. Did you know that peach is back in style. It went out for a while but it is coming back. After not using peach for so long, I am enthralled with this color!! This card actually features both the Colored Peony in the Jar and the Colored Corner Peony which you can find at the Fred She Said Store here. I broke out of my usual habit and learned how to flip the image to go the other way so I could bookend my focal point. It was a piece of cake.
You can see I cut out an extra bottle a pop dotted it for dimension here. Then I used glossy accents on top to make the glass shine! The flowers have a light accent of stickles for just the right about of sparkle.
My special word is "to".
Please go to Maria next and don't forget to leave us a comment. Thank you so much for visiting.

Ooh, the peach color is divine, Carol. And, I love that peony in a jar. Fab job as always.
ReplyDeleteCarol, beautiful as always!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! Love all the glitter and flowers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! I really wish I could be bright, LOL. But you are so incredibly talented. I think you definitely have an amazing talent and a great future ahead of you. :) Have you considered pursuing a career in art/design (if you aren't already doing so)? I really love the layout of your blog, and of course, your beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin also graduated from a Medical Coding and Billing program. It was a co-op program, but she still wasn't able to find a job afterwards. One day, when she went in to ask for a reference letter from the place she had "worked" at through the program, the people at the office told her another employee had recently left. They hired her on the spot to fill the opening. I've heard of many other stories about how jobs were just handed to some people (usually before these positions were opened to the public). I feel like getting a job is mostly about luck nowadays. However, it's sad that winning the employment "lottery" is just a ticket to hard work, long hours, and stress.
Wow!!! This card is breathtaking!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love all the punched elements you used to set off your image. Great coloring! That bottle looks real! TFS!
ReplyDeleteYour card is soooooo...pretty. The flowers just jump off the card.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card!! LOVE the orange!!
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors! Nice card:-)
