Why is it since Cov19 took over our world, it takes more and more time to complete a card? I don't know. However, it's not like I'm not spending the same amount of time at my desk, but the cards just keep a' growin'.
There is so much going on here, it might take awhile to explain.
I watercolored two of the peony blossom, then fussy cut and layered it to create more of a 3D blossom. I have the Peony dies, but I like this better -- probably because it's so fussy. The petals are painted with Frost White Shimmer Paint from Stampin' Up! It's not obvious in the photo, but it's got this amazing lustre IRL. The center of the peony is done with old SU! beads in Earths. Just touching the edges of the beads with the the white frost ink gives them a bit more dimension.
I'm so glad that SU! brought back Still Scenes in this years Holiday Mini! I loved this set last year and I'm looking forward to playing with it again. The snow globe domes are also back -- yay! The champagne pearls around the globe are non-SU!, but I love them and find uses for them in so many projects. I got these off Amazon, but I wish that SU! would put some in the catalog!
The leaves and buds at the corners of the central layer are from Forever Blossoms -- another favorite set.
