Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.
Tonight I'm joining in with the Colour INKspiration crew and our awesome colour combination!!
Our Inspiration photo was taken by the amazing Lou on her recent trip to Japan- this is a lake FULL of floating peonies!! Simply stunning!!
As you possibly know, I find using bring pinks a big challenge - but I put on my 'big girl pants' and dived all in with this one!!
I've used the lovely Boutique Blossoms bundle for the gorgeous flowers, and the leaves come from the fun new Botanical Glow Hot Foil Die.
Everything has been stamped and coloured onto Fluid 100 watercolour paper.
I hot foiled the leaves, spritzed the watercolour paper, and the coloured using Old Olive and Garden Green inks and a water painter.
I used the same technique to stamp all of the flowers onto watercolour paper, and then die cut all the flowers using the coordinating dies.
My final touch was to add some fun white gel pen highlights when all of the flowers were dry. And added some lovely Antique Pearls to the little freesia flowers.
Splattering the card with the left over green inks helped to hide some extra unintentional splodges!
