This is for today's CAS challenge, which was a sketch challenge.
I was asked to make a sympathy card for a girl at work.
I used the Peony stamp set from Clear Dollar Stamps, which is new for June. I stamped it with black Staz-on ink and used my aquapainter to colour it in with Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss. I also sponged some Blush Blossom around the flower to create a bit of a shadow.
I used my arch lattice border punch to create the decorative corners.
