Just when you think you’ve seen all the flowers, the Prized Peony comes along! I couldn’t wait to see the flower in Vellum, and I wasn’t disappointed.

Vellum Peony

Step by Step Instructions:

Cut Gray Granite Cardstock to 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, and fold in the middle at 4 1/4″ to make your card base. Layer the card base with Peony Garden Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″.

Make a Whisper White Cardstock panel, 3″ X 5 1/4″, and use the Peony Border die to cut both sides of the panel. Glue to the middle of your card front.

Now for the gorgeous peony, which will take some explaining. Opening this pack of dies can be intimidating, especially for someone new to stamping, so I made a chart. Five images in the stamp set have dies for cutting. Plus, there is one border “trim” die, five “build-a-peony” dies, three leaf dies, and three leaf detail dies.

Use #1- #5 “build-a-peony” dies to cut from Vellum Cardstock. They will slide into one another (smallest to largest) through the openings. Before putting together, use a Sponge Dauber to apply Petal Pink Ink to the petals and Bumble Bee Ink to the stamen. Apply small dots of glue at the bottom of the petals, as you slide them into place. Add glue to the middle of the back of the completed flower, and attach to the panel.

Cut three leaves from Vellum, and color with a Sponge Dauber and Pear Pizzazz Ink. Cut the same leaves from Whisper White Cardstock, and use a tiny dot of glue at the base to attach to the Vellum leaves. Slide the leaves beneath the flowers with a dot of glue.

Stamp the sentiment, from the Prized Peony Stamp Set, in Gray Granite Ink on Whisper White Cardstock. Use a Stitched So Sweetly Die for cutting, and place on Dimensionals.

I think you will be pleased with your completed card. My husband said this is one of his all time favorites.
