Layered Peonies Birthday Card

Hello, crafty friends!! I hope you had a great weekend!!

Even though I have been busy making Christmas cards, I have A LOT of birthdays coming up in the month of December!! I thought I would share one with you today!!

I began by stamping the peonies and leaves from the Grouped Fresh Peonies Stamp Set onto white cardstock using the following collections: Peony, Blues, Amethyst ( I substituted Grape Crush for the darkest color), and Crystal Garden (only the two lightest colors). Then I cut them out with the Coordinating Die.

For the background, I just swiped the lightest color of ink pad from each collection directly onto a panel of white cardstock. I added some splatters with diluted black paint and a paintbrush. The panel was trimmed down slightly and adhered to an A2 size card base.

For the greeting, I die-cut “hello” from black and white cardstock using dies from the Script Word Dies Bundle. “Happy Birthday”, from Grouped Fresh Sunflowers, was stamped onto a strip of white cardstock with Noir Ink. It was matted with black cardstock and adhered across the bottom of “hello.” A few Clear Rhinestones add some sparkle and shine.
