happy Birthday to you! 12

Hi there! Today I have a couple of projects to share featuring peonies. First up is a birthday card that I made for my dear MIL who will be celebrating her birthday this Saturday, September 10th. I used her favorite two colors pink and green.

I inked up the pretty peony image from PTI's Pretty Peonies stamp set:

For card sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current retrosketches sketch challenge. While typing this post, I realized I completely forgot to glue on the sequins! LOL Oh well, at least the card should arrive in her Louisiana mailbox by Saturday :)

Up next is my painting for Day 6 of 30 in 30:

I was in the mood to paint some abstract flowers so I painted this 8" x 10" canvas featuring a few silk peonies in a blue glass jar:

Here's my source of inspiration:

I'm linking my painting to the current Paint Party Friday site:

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)
