Distress Peony Watercolor Resist

Good morning! Dropping by with another card I made for the recent publication call that never made it to acceptance emails - had lots of fun with distressing on this one:


This is a perfect fit for the current Virginia's View Challenge - All Things Distressed:


I am also linking this up with Unity Friends with Flair.

For the flower, I used Donna Peony and heat embossed in white, then watercolored over the top for an emboss resist effect. The sentiment is from Wordy Buck, and I stamped it off a couple times in a shadow effect. Used my Tim Holtz distress tool to distress the edges, added some pattern paper from MME and Glitz Designs, then inked the distressed edges and wet them a little so the distress ink would bleed away a little. Added some jute string to finish it off.


Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!!!
