Caseing Therese

Morning all.
It's a new year and so it's time for a brand new challenge over at Uniko.
Here is my inspiration based on this month's theme.

The colours in the background panel in the photo don't really show up but they are really pretty in real life, a mix of cool blues, greys and lilacs created using the acetate smooshing technique.
I saw a video by Therese Calvird using this technique and was inspired to have a go.

Using DIs in Shaded Lilac, Broken China and Weathered Wood, I created my background panel on HP watercolour paper. When dry, I stamped the outline of the large peony bloom from Pure florals Peony in black on both a white base card and smooshed panel. I trimmed the coloured panel down and then popped it up on fun foam over the black outline on my base card.
On a strip of black card I stamped and embossed in white the sentiment from the same peony set. A die cut sentiment was added, slipping the sentiment strip through the loops of the die cut. A few sparkling sequins were added to complete.

That's all from me but there's more fab inspiration over at the Uniko, then why not join us in this month's challenge?
