Hello everyone! Hope you’re having a great week so far! It’s TaeEun here today with a stenciled floral card. I pulled out the Coming Up Peonies stamp and the Climbing Peonies Layering stencil set to make today’s card. My favorite colors for flowers are coral pink, blue, and purple, but for this card, I stenciled the peonies in pinkish red. I have to admit that the layering stencils make cardmaking so much faster and easier, even though I really love to color the flowers myself 🙂 ! 

To begin, I stamped the Coming Up Peonies stamp in Noir and again in embossing ink, then heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder. I love the added shine of the clear embossing, and it eliminates the risk of ink smudging.

I stenciled the image using the Climbing Peonies layering stencils. For the first layer, I used Bubblegum and Lipstick Red, for the second layer, Deep Peony and Cherry, and for the third layer, Wine. The leaves were stenciled in Matcha first, and I added a bit of dark shade using Italian Denim.

Once done with the stenciling, I cut the image using the coordinating die and set it aside.

To create the background, I started by creating a watercolored background panel. I loosely watercolored a watercolor paper panel in pink, let it dry, and dry embossed it with the Dome Frames Slim Borders coverplate die. Next, I splattered white opaque ink on the panel and adhered it flat on a white cardbase. 

I cut a frame using the Dome Nested dies from some soft pink cardstock and white fun foam, adhered the foam frame under the pink frame, and added it to the card.

I added the floral image into the dome frame using foam tape. The sentiment is also from the Coming Up Peonies stamp set. I stamped it in Noir and cut it using the Quick Labels die. 

To finish off, I scattered a few Soft Pink Gems. 

That’s it from me for today! I hope you could find some inspiration from my card!

Thank you so much for looking!
