Hi everyone! When I was growing up we had a lot of peony bushes in our yard. My parents liked to use them on Memorial Day. I’m loving all the peony craze in stamps but I’m not getting the ones I have colored up! Guess it’s enough just to collect them. One of these years we hope to plant some here! Here’s a start anyway, with this pretty Fresh Peony stamp and die set from Stampendous.
Their dies cut right on the line, so I went around with a black marker to make the white edges black.
The oval dies and another label come with the die set! The sentiment is in the stamp set. I used a We R Memory Keepers embossing folder for the background.
A clean and simple card. I spritzed the flower and leaves with water and then colored it with watercolor powder and a little color pencil after it was dry.
Now that I look at this stamp some more, I’m thinking it would be a great one to stamp multiple times, cut up the petals and layer up for a frilly, dimensional floral piece!
This ended up a little over 5 ½ inches square.
Thanks for stopping by!
Here’s what I used to make this card…(I couldn’t find the dot embossing folder, sorry!)
