ORNATE LAYERS PRIZED PEONY THANKS!

Hi, Friends,

I still have a few cards to share with you that I have made with the Peony Garden Suite.  This bundle with all of the coordinating products is amazing, and one of my personal favorites!  Here is today's project:

This is another project where I have colored the DSP I used in the background.  I simply colored the blooms with the Light Petal Pink Blends.  The light on the picture below is not the best, but it gives you an idea of the way the DSP looks after it has been colored and before the rest of the layers are added!

MY RECIPE:

STAMPS:  Prized Peony, Garden Shed

CARDSTOCK:
     Petal Pink:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
     Gray Granite:  4 x 5-1/4
     Peony Garden DSP:  3-7/8 x 5-1/8
          SCRAPS:  Whisper White
               INSIDE: 
                    Gray Granite:  3-3/4 x 5
                    Whisper White:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8

INK:  Gray Granite

BLENDS:  Petal Pink, Old Olive (L), Daffodil Delight (D)

ACCESSORIES:  Peony Dies, Ornate Layers Dies, Magnetic Platform, Big Shot, Wink of Stella, Pearls, Dimensionals

The Ornate Layers Die makes the card look much harder than it is; with all of the decorative holes and swirls, it adds much to the card!  The inside of the card is simple:

HOW I MADE IT:

1.  Use scoreboard to score the card base at 4-1/4.  Fold the card; burnish the fold with a bone folder for an awesome crease.

2.  Use Gray Granite ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.

3.  Stamp small flower image on lower right corner of inside panel.  Color using markers.

4.  Adhere inside card panels together; adhere to inside of card base.

5.  Use markers to color Peony Garden DSP.  Adhere to Gray Granite cardstock.  Adhere to front of card base.

6.  Cut Ornate Layers Die Cut from scrap of Whisper White cardstock using die and Big Shot.

7.  Stamp sentiment on lower right corner of die cut using Gray Granite ink.

8.  Adhere die cut to front of card base.

9.  Use Gray Granite ink to stamp large flower image on scrap of Whisper White cardstock.  Color using markers.  Cut out using Peony Dies and Big Shot.  Attach to card front using dimensionals.

10.  Use Wink of Stella to add shimmer to die cut flower.

11.  Add small pearls to either side of sentiment.  See sample for placement.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!  I hope you are not getting tired of the Prized Peony projects, because I still have a couple to share with you.

Be sure to make a card and send it to someone special today!
