I used this lovely large bloom from Uniko's Pure Florals - Peony.
Keeping it simple, I just embossed it onto kraft with Versamark and white EP, along with a birthday sentiment. On a panel of MM paper, I repeated the process and coloured the bloom with Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed DI in a watercolour technique. Shadows were added with a Zig watercolour brush pen Brick Beige, which is as near as I could get to the colour of the kraft card.
After fussy cutting, I glued it over the kraft outline and then die cut the whole panel with an MFT scalloped stitched frame die, adding it to a white note card with foam pads.
