Let’s move on to my cards for the day!

For my card today I used our new and beautiful Peony Bouquet set.

Be sure to follow us on YouTube for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!

I started off by white heat embossing the peony cluster in the corners of watercolor paper panel (Canson XL 140lb). I decided to do some loose watercoloring using Color Bursts with this project. I used Rouge, Lime Green and Jack O Lantern.

Once I finished watercoloring, I let the panel dry before I added stitching to the edges of my A2 panel using our Double Stitched Rectangles Large dies. Next I heat embossed the sentiment from our Most Interesting Cardmaker 2.0 (Updated Set) not vellum.  I made sure that the sentiment would be long enough to wrap around my watercolor panel. Additionally, I cut a slighter bigger strip of gray cardstock which I used to mount my vellum strip onto.

I adhered the ends of the vellum on top of the ends of the gray strip. Then I fold the two strips back and adhered the strips to the back of my watercolored panel. Lastly I embellished the card using Clear Rhinestones.

    I love peonies. This card is gorgeous. Such a great effect with the vellum for the sentiment. You have inspired me to get my embossing powders out again. Love your work. Xxx

    Your beautiful peonies remind me of those my grandmother used to grow in her flower garden. They were huge and incredibly stunning, nurtured by the love and attention she gave them. Thank you for designing a set that is timeless, versatile and, in my case, a recollection of wonderful memories….

    I loven peonies and the water colorin is so beautiful and fresh looking. With clear Rhine stone the look like you just picked them from the garden. Absolutely stunning.
