I've watercoloured Altenews Precious Peonies after embossing in white.
The background is texture paste through an Altenew stencil with matching splatters.
The die cut sentiment has been gently blended with Distress Oxide in hickory smoke before removing from the cardstock.
To finish I added a few pencil strokes here and there.
