Peony With Love

Good Morning

Alice here, hope you are all well this morning.  Here is my blog post for today.  Had another play with the A5 Peony Stamp Set.  Just love this versatile little stamp set.  You can find this and many more on the Colourific Website

Materials Used:

A5 Peony Stamp Set
6x6 Black Card Blank
5.75 x 5.75 Gold Mat
5.5 x 5.5 White Mat
Embossing Folder
Scraps of Gold adn Black Card
Distress Inks
Copic Markers
Glitter Glue
With Love Sentiment Die
Black Thread

• Matted the gold then black mats onto the 6x6 black card blank
• Used the embossing folder to emboss the white mat
• Placed some pink and yellow distress inks onto a blending mat and sprayed with water. Used the edge of the embossed mat and pulled it lightly through the ink, so give a distressed look.
• Used the yelow and pink distress inks to ink around the remainder of the card.
• Stamped the Peony out with Memento Ink and coloured with copic markers. This was then fussy cut out.
• Stamped a stem with green distress ink and fussy cut out.  Attached the stem to the right hand side of the card.
• Placed some glue gel at the top of the stem and added some scrunched up black thread.  Arranged this so that it would pop out at the sides of the Peony flower then added flower on top.
• Used dies to cut out three different width banners, layered them together and added to left hand side of card.  Cut out the With Love Sentiment and added to centre of banner

Peony Gift Bag

Good Morning

I had a little play with the A5 Peony Stamp set from Colourific

Had some real fun, playing with this stamp set.  Trying hard to make something a little different from a card.  Decided to make a gift back.  One I have my measurements for the bag and stamped the Peony along the top of the front and back of bag, I coloured them in.  Still thought it was missing something, so I stamped and coloured another 8 and added them onto front and back with foam pads.  Stamped various leaf sizes from the stamp set, coloured and placed them in amongst the flowers.  Didn't like that the bag was plain, so I cut and embossed some white card and placed it underneath the flowers.  Punched holes in the back and front and added ribbon for the handles.  Finished off by making the little tag.

Hope you like it and thank you for looking.
