Sending Birthday Wishes – Climbing Peonies Stencils

Hello, crafty friends and happy Tuesday!! I hope your week is off to a great start!!

I have a pretty pink birthday card to share with you today!!

I began by adding ink onto a panel of Bristol cardstock using the Climbing Peonies Layering Stencil Set. I used Whisper Pink, Bubblegum, Cherry, Lemon Drop and Spring Salad inks. There is a Coordinating Die available, but I don’t have it, so I fussy cut it out.

For the background, I blended the same pink inks that I used for the peonies onto a panel of Bristol smooth cardstock, with the darkest color at the bottom and the lightest at the top. I die-cut it with the A2 Quilted Coverplate Die and adhered it to a white top-folding card base. The peonies were adhered with liquid adhesive and the excess was trimmed from the edges.

The sentiment, from the Easy Expressions: Birthday Stamp Set, was stamped with Cherry and Noir inks, then cut out with the Coordinating Die. It was popped up with foam tape. Fairy Pink Sequins were the perfect finishing touch!
