Peony & Gold Sympathy Card

I like to make good use of all my stamp sets, so I selected one that had been set aside while I was concentrating on holiday cards, the Prized Peony Stamp Set.

Peony & Gold

This stamp set has a large floral image that I stamped in Memento Black Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, and cut with its Peony Die.

Next, I colored the peony with Magenta Madness and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.

For the background I chose dotted, Highland Heather Designer Paper that comes in a 6X6 Subtles Collection. This is similar to what will be received for FREE by those who sign up as Demonstrators during Sale-A-Bration. You can read more details about it below.

I layered the designer paper on Magenta Madness Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5 “, which I glued to a Gorgeous Grape card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4”.

I spent some time thinking about the sentiment, and then I remembered I wanted to use a Gold Hoop Embellishment. This was my December host code gift, which I’ll be mailing to my qualifying customers this week, and I’m excited to show them how I’m using it. There is a tiny bit of Liquid Glue holding it in place. Plus, the peony is attached with Dimensionals on top of the hoop for added security.

Once the Gold Hoop was positioned, I knew I wanted a gold sentiment. The word “sympathy” from the Well Written Die Set seemed perfect, cut from our Brushed Metallic Cardstock.

There are 10 Gold Hoops in a pack, and I’m looking forward to embellishing more cards with them!

I was inspired by TGIF.
