STAMP FOCUS | Peony

Today Ksenija is here and I am sharing my tips on how to easily make a pretty card with Peony red rubber stamps set.

Tips On Making This Card:

• Start with stamping a flower from Peony red rubber stamps set in embossing ink down onto a black card stock base and heat embossing the impression with very fine white embossing powder
• Trim a white card stock card panel down to 8.5 by 12 cm
• Stamp down the flower onto the white card panel in black archival ink
• Continue with colouring just a few petals and the center of the flower with colour pencils

• Stamp down the sentiment from Blomin' Great red rubber stamps set
• To assemble the card mount the white panel to the black card base using a foam tape

This is a double-layered card and aligning of the layers is crucial for the design. I recommend using MISTI Stamp Positioning tool to stamp the flower in the same position

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

Good morning and welcome from Elizabeth with the first of the posts from the new International Design Team for 2017/18.

I absolutely adore the new Big Butterfly #2 and combined with the new A6 Peony  it's just perfect.

I started by making a master board using Coastal Walk, Marshmallow, Olive Waistcoat and Lime Marmalade Cottage Garden Paints 

I stamped out the Butterfly once, and the Peony and Ferns a couple of times in Black Versafine. Then heat embossed them using a fine detail clear embossing powder. After they had cooled, I cut out all the elements.

I then diluted some of the gorgeous Blue Luscious Powder and brushed over the top of the Ferns, the Butterfly wings and to create shadows on the Peony's.

Once the Luscious had dried it was just a case of creating a design with the pieces onto a C5 card blank that had been covered with a piece of vintage music paper.

I added glitter to the centre of the Peony's, splashes of diluted Blue Luscious and of course I can't resist a few sequins.

I hope you enjoyed the process and have found a little inspiration.
