Prized Peony Card #1
I love flowers! Especially these beautiful Peonies. I used Gray Granite and Petal Pink. Pinks and Grays always go together. So, here's how to make this lovely card:
- Card base is Gray Granite (GG). 8 1/2" x 11" cut in half and then scored at 4 1/4". (this gives you 2 bases)
- 1st layer is Petal Pink (PP) cut at 5 1/4" x 4" and used the "Dainty Diamonds" embossing folder (also emboss a strip of Petal Pink at the same time...approx. 1" x 3" and flag one end.
- 2nd layer is Gray Granite cut at 2 5/8" x 4 1/4"
- 3rd layer is Whisper White (WW) cut at 2 3/8" x 4". Stamp your Peony on this layer (or any other flower/design you like)
- On a strip of Whisper White stamp your sentiment....cut approx. 3/4" x 3 and angle cut your ends
- After all is stamped, start glueing together BUT first attach your Gray Granite Ribbon to the left side of your 1st layer (Petal Pink). NOTE: you have 2 pieces of ribbon, the longer piece only wraps partially around the PP layer and the other ties on front in a faux bow.
- Stamp the inside of your card, embellish as you like, sign the back, decorate your envelope and mail to someone you love!
