Not that the sketch is scrappy, at all! No, I'm tidying (trying to tidy) my desk ready for the DTGD challenges, and the coloured Peony image has been on my desk for months as a reject from an earlier colour challenge. It was just pink and grey - now that colours didn't matter I added in some green.
A2 base. Stampendous Peonies stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with distress inks. Today I added Stickles and Liquid Pearls, too.
Green Bazzill embossed with Textile ef.
I've just addressed all my August BRAK and other birthday cards, so it was good to pull out a birthday greeting to replenish my stash a bit; it's stamped in Versafine Olympia Green.
Spellbinders Banner 2, and a little butterfly punch for the top element - no washi tape here.

I love your colored panel. The green addition is perfect and don't you just LOVE to be inspired by things on the table. I sure do. The faux stitching is perfect too.
