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

Gorgeous peony Linda!! And love the tea stained bg.
I had an apricot colored peony at my previous home. It was a cutting from a friend. I couldn't take it with me when we moved, so I split it giving some to my sis and to my neighbor. They send me pictures every year of the beautiful blooms.
