Pink Peonies Cards with Lynn and Ashley

Hi everyone, it’s Lynn here to share a card using the new Pink Peonies stamp set and coordinating dies.

To create my card, I started out with a white card base and then added a panel of light gray cardstock. I used the Blooming Frame die to die cut a piece of white cardstock which I then glued on top of the gray cardstock. After that I stamped several of the beautiful flowers images from the new Pink Peonies stamp set and colored them using Copic markers then die cut them out using the Pink Peonies dies. Once my flowers were completed, I used the Banner Basics stamp set and stamped one of the banners from the set and then die cut it out using the Banner Basics dies.

Copic markers: R11, R02, R32, R43, R14, Y35, YR24, G14, G07, G28, C0, C1

Next I used the Phoebe Alphabet stamp set to stamp my Celebrate sentiment inside the banner. I adhered all of my stamped pieces to my card front and used foam tape to adhere the two largest peony flowers and the banner. To add a touch of sparkle, I used some clear Wink of Stella glitter pen on all of the peonies and glued on some iridescent sequins around my flowers.

Hi everyone! It's Ashley with my very first post as a member of the Sunny Studio Design Team! I'm so excited to be here!

My card today features the new Pink Peonies set! Peonies are my favorite flower, especially the light pink ones - they were my wedding flowers! Because they are so special to me and because of the stamp set's name, I was inspired to create a literal pink peonies card! 

I started by stamping several flowers and leaves from the Pink Peonies stamp set onto smooth white watercolor paper with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I watercolored the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers scribbled onto a watercolor palette and used as paints. I went with brighter pinks for the card, rather than my favorite pale pink, but I love how they turned out! Once they were dry, I cut them out with the Pink Peonies dies.

While my watercolored images were drying, I blended Distress Oxides in Spun Sugar, Seedless Preserves, and Black Soot on white cardstock, then splattered with watered down white acrylic paint. I used the frame of the new Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die to add interest to the background.

For extra shine, I splattered my die cuts and background with watered down gold acrylic paint before arranging my images in layers on the background. I popped a few flowers and leaves up with foam squares for dimension. Since I had a pink theme going, I made a "tickled pink" sentiment from the Fabulous Flamingos stamp set. I stamped it in VersaMark and embossed with gold to match my splatters. I finished with a few pale pink jewels scattered around the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by for my first post! I'll be here every Monday so I hope you come again :) Have a wonderful day!
