Peony Garden

Today's card uses the same stamp set as my last post called Prized Peony. This time I used the other flower stamp. You can easily colour this flower stamp in watercolour pencils or blend pens but I also think it looks just as good just stamped. The flower and leaves/stem are all one stamp and the die cut the whole image out. I wanted to have a 3d effect, so I stamped once in Old Olive and then again on another piece of Whisper White card in Petal Pink.  I fussy cut the two flowers out pink version and attached back on other image with foam pads. I added more foam pads to back of whole piece ready to adhere to card. The background is the stitched rectangle dies and I blended some Petal Pink ink using a brush. I then stamped with Gray Granite ink some of the little stamp images from the set. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Gray. I finished off with some of the lovely papers from the coordinating DSP pack and I used some Petal Pink card to die cut the scalloped border that comes in the die collection.
