Today is I am sharing my Peony Thank You Card that I made for a swap using the beautiful Peony Garden Suite Collection. I love peonies and when I saw this collection, I knew that I had to buy it! It is getting lots of love! So far, I have made 4 cards with it! I am sharing two of those cards here.
For my card, I pulled out my Stampin’ Up! Blends in Petal Pink and Old Olive to colour this gorgeous flower. I love how you can use the matching dies to cut out the blooms, but there are also dies that build a 3D peony bloom as well! I made the card below for my Mom’s 75th birthday using the 3D bloom and it was gorgeous!
I love the softness of the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper and that was from where I pulled my colour scheme of Petal Pink and Gray Granite with a touch of Old Olive.
I used the pretty Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder on the Petal Pink card stock. For embellishments, I used the Gray Granite Ribbon, a Square Vellum Doily and a scattering of Elegant Faceted Gems.
