Peony Garden - Casing the catalogue

Hello and welcome to my blog. The samples in the catalogue are so eye-catching. I often use them as a way to get familiar with a new set of stamps. For this card I took inspiration from the samples on page 83 of the catalogue and made a couple of simple adjustments. By flipping the orientation, changing the colour of the flower and using an alternative sentiment I have made the same card...but different!

There are just a few layers on this card. The square, Gray Granite card base is covered with a piece of the Peony Garden Designer Series paper. On top of that is a piece of Shimmery White card die cut with the Stitched Shapes dies and embossed witht the Dainty Diamonds folder. It's lifted on dimensionals and the geometric patterns look lovely together.

The flower and leaves are stamped on Shimmery White card using Basic Gray ink, die cut and coloured with Stampin' Blends. I used Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. The colour of this flower reminds me of the Peony we had in our garden when I was little! Bold and beautiful.

The sentiment is heat embossed in white on a strip of Gray Granite card. The end is trimmed using the border die in the set - it creates the scallopped edge and embossing detail with one pass throughthte die cutting machine. There is a scattering of faceted gems to finish off. They are so pretty.
