I’m still loving the Peony Garden Suite (154129)! I introduced the suite in this blog post and shared a second card I created with the suite in this post. Today I’m sharing a third card featuring the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (152483).
I chose one of the gray granite floral designs for this card. I cut a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of the dsp on the diagonal with the intention of just flipping one piece over and lining it up with the front side. Well….that didn’t work as the cut then went the wrong direction as you can see. This is one of those ‘happy’ mistakes because I like the way the card turned out better than I had planned. I debated about using one larger flower and covering the triangle where the card base shows but ended up with the three smaller flowers instead.
This Peony Garden Designer Series Paper has several designs that lend themselves beautifully to being colored in with Stampin’ Blends. However for this card I wanted to just have the three smaller flowers add the color.
Two of the sayings in the Prized Peony stamp set speak to the passing of someone dear. This card is going to a long-time friend whose sister just passed away. The stamp for the inside says “My thoughts are with you.” I love it when a stamp set has a greeting for the front of the card and one for the inside.
