T he combination of Seaside Spray, So Saffron, and Smoky Slate is soothing to the eyes. This card has the large peony as its focal point as it is layered over vellum.
Project Recipe
Create a card base from Smoky Slate cardstock cut at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".
To the card front, adhere a piece of So Saffron cardstock cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".
Then add a piece of patterned paper in Seaside Spray cut at 5 1/4" x 4".
Cut a piece of vellum at 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" and die cut the bottom using the scalloped edge die in the Peony die set.
Add this piece to the card front.
On a 1" strip of So Saffron cardstock, stamp the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink. I used a stamp from the Fancy Phrases set.
Punch the right end using the Lovely You punch.
Add this to the card front.
Die cut the peony from Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and the flower center from So Saffron cardstock.
Use a water painter and So Saffron ink to add shading to the petals.
Assemble the flower and add it to the card front using dimensionals.
