Today I am going to share with you two cards using the Peony Garden Suite of products. This suite was first on my favourites list, but it wasn't available during pre-order. However, it was definitely worth the wait!
Both cards feature the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper. I just LOVE the soft, soothing colours on this paper. Then the Elegant Faceted Gems and the Shimmer Ribbon make this a truly beautiful suite of products.
The first card utilizes the largest Peony image stamped in Gray Granite ink. These are distinctive stamps, so the depth and texture is added with one simple stamp, then easily cut out with the coordinating dies. I heat embossed the sentiment and fussy cut it out. To add even more texture I used the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder in the background.
The second card really demonstrates how well the patterns in the DSP coordinate with one another. I used the scalloped die from the Peony Dies to border the front of the card. Notice the detailed embossing of the scallop with this die. So pretty!
The peonies are stamped with Gray Granite ink, then coloured with Petal Pink and Old Olive Stampin' Blend markers.
On the inside of this card, I used the geometric image stamped twice to create a background for the small Peony.
Be sure to check out my video tutorial on how to make the second card here, and please join me next Thursday evening at 7:30 pm. for a tutorial on how to create a 3D Peony with the Peony Dies.
