Pretty Peonies.

I thought that this weekend was going to be a wet one, good for the garden, but today turned out glorious. Never the less I had intended to get another project shared, so today it's pretty peonies.

I made this card for my sister-in-law's birthday. Using a 6 x6 inch card blank and the Dreamees Love and Lace heart die to form the central focal point of my card to place my flowers around.

I stamped and heat embossed the Dreamees Build Peony stamps with bright white opaque white Wow embossing powder onto pink cardstock (approx 140gsm). I do love this flower stamp, which I also used in my get well card. 

To give my flowers some tone to them, I added a little of the Dreamees rose chalk dinky inky before shaping and add lots of layers to my flowers.

Some white pollen stamens in the centre and for the foliage, I used the Dreamees Beautiful Babysun dies.

A few pearls to finish my cards off and a sentiment and that's really all my card needed I think. I also have to make a good strong envelop box for my card to travel through the post.

I do love to make flowers and think I will have a go at cutting some out in fabric using the biggest stamp next time I use this set. Now that would be pretty and much better if I would actually sew!!

 Happy Crafting
