I had the Peony Scrolls stamp set by Altenew on hand,
I thought of using them a bit differently this time, so I added stems to the flowers!
And to make it look a bit festive and sparkly, I used gold heat embossing and Tim Holtz distress glitter.
I watercolored the flowers and the background using distress inks.
Wrapped some gold thread, added a few sequins and I was done!
