Pretty Peonies




I will miss using summer colors and flowers in my card creations, though who says you can't use them year round?! I haven't used this Pretty Peonies set from The Stamp Market in a long time and thought they would work well for a tall skinny card which is what Claire is asking us to create for the new Paper Players challenge. I don't know why I don't use this size more often, because I really love the look! Thanks for the push, Claire!



Here is what I used...
STAMPS: Pretty Peonies (The Stamp Market).
PAPER: Black and White Basics 6x6 pad (My Favorite Things); True Black and White by Papertrey Ink.
INK: Lime Light, Shell Pink, Little Piggy, Sweet Gelato (dye inks by WPlus9); Versamark.
DIES: Pretty Peonies (The Stamp Market); Stitched Circle and Fishtail Flags STAX Die-Namics (MFT).

Wanda, I just love those big, bold blossoms! The black and white polka dot paper is the perfect compliment to make them pop. Just an all-around stunning card and so perfect for the tall and skinny layout. Just awesome!

I am glad you chose to make a non-Christmas, non-fall, non-Halloween card for our challenge, Wanda! I am still wearing summer clothes and stamping with summer colors too! A wonderful floral creation!

With flowers so beautiful it's no wonder you don't want to pack away the summer flower sets Wanda! Your pair of peonies work so well for the tall and skinny sketch and frame your sentiment perfectly. Gorgeous!

What a beautiful wedding/anniversary card, Wanda! I love the peonies and the color choices you have made. It is so refreshing to see a card in these spring/summer colors! Great job!
