Hi Lovely Blogging Friends...
It's time for another challenge at In The Pink - and this time our theme is
BIRTHDAY
I bought this Mama Elephant Pretty Peonies stamp set recently, so decided to use that for my card - peonies are one of my favourite flowers. I stamped on Bristol Smooth card with Versamark, then embossed with white embossing powder. I then coloured with my (little used) Zig Clean Colour Markers. I was reasonably happy with how it turned out... but need to do more practice with these pens I think. Also, I used some Tonic Nuvo Jewel Drops on the peonies to look like dew drops - but unfortunately, they affected the colour of the pink underneath them. Eeeek! Ah well... the best laid plans of mice and men....

As my photos above look more blue-ish than the colours do in real life, I decided to try for a different photograph on a different day... and this is what happened. It was sunny when I took the photo below, and it was a cool day with no sun on the photos above. Just shows you how the weather can make a difference to the lighting on your photo, doesn't it?
