This card is for 2 challenges, SC114, and CC104, So, Saffron, Certainly Celery, & Regal Rose. The background panel is done in Polished Stone (PS)with alcohol inks. The Peony flowers branch is from the retired set, Oriental Paintings. I stamped it in Versamark and Silver Embossed, then painted it with Twinkling H2O's. Since I wanted it to be shiny like the PS, I coated the whole panel in several layers of clear EP. It's hard to see in the scan, but I stamped the flowers from Happy Harmony onto the Saffron square in Summer Sun craft ink. Tiny Swarovski crystals are adhered to the 2 dragonfly heads, and dotting the *i* of the word, Happiness. Everything is popped up on thick foam tape. Oh, the Hodgepodge piece is dipped in Versamark and gold embossed, too. The card is set against an antique Chinese cork carving my DH's parents brought back from China many years ago. Thanks again to my good friend NancyRuth for her marvelous inspiration for photographic settings. Nancy, you are so creative!
Thanks for looking! Maddy
