Peony Bouquet

Update:  June 2 - I just found out I won an honorable mention from Mitzi Sato-Wiuff owner of Stamps by Aurora Wings.  Thanks so much Mitzi.  

Happy Monday My Sweet Friends

It's Memorial Day here in the U.S. and a day of reflection in honor of those brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe.  They are true heroes.  



Peonies are one of my most favorite flowers.  I used a digital image from very talented artist Mitzi Sato-Wiuff.  I colored it with Copics and am pretty happy with the results.  I did color the inside of the flower with a goldish yellow however you can't see that in this photo.  I decided it was time to jump into the deep end and just have fun.  It was a liberating experience and I am so eager to keep learning and grow stronger in my artistic skills.  

I used the following Copic colors:

G05, 07, 09
RV21, 23, 25, 29
Y32, 35, 38

You can find this gorgeous image and so many other's at Mitzi's Etsy Shop and here are the links:


I really appreciate your taking the time to stop by and saying hello.  Your comments and feedback mean the world to me.  

With smiles and hugs

    Beautiful coloring on the Peony image, Laine! I love how you put the peonies against the pink and black stripes for a bold and unforgettable look. It's also nice to see a mention of the Memorial Day for what it really means. I see people treat this day like the 'first opportunity to get out of town' and nothing else all too often. Thank you for joining our challenge at Aurora Wings! Mitzi xx

Blessings and Thankfulness

Hello dear sweet friends - As some of you already know I had a different post here earlier today.  I have moved that post to my Life Lessons from Hercules Blog which I have been wanting to start for quite some time now.  And so, if you feel so inclined - you can check out my new blog and let me know what you think. (For this card I wanted to use my scraps of paper and other embellishments that are over six months old.  And I achieved that by using the brown lace and butterflies.  In fact, they are almost a year old and I have just been saving them for something special.   With hugs and smiles Laine I am also submitting this card to the following challenges: Twist of Faith Challenge #10 - A Sketch Challenge Craft Door Magazine - Challenge #43 Anything Goes Paper Take Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes Lady Anne's Challenges - Anything Goes Stampin Sisters in Christ - Challenge 164 Challenges for Everybody - #6 Sta...
