Peony Garden Suite - My Thoughts Are With You
My card today is made using elements from the Peony Garden Suite Collection. It utilizes the large Peony stamp and matching die, Peony Garden designer series paper and the Elegant Faceted Gems (love these gems - so pretty!)
My Stampin' Up! Color Fusion for today is based on the color palette for the Peony Garden Suite in Gray Granite and Petal Pink with Pear Pizzazz.
I used the following cuts of cardstock:
Gray Granite: 8½" x 5½", scored at 4¼"
Petal Pink: 4" x 5¼"
Whisper White:
Peony Garden Designer Series Paper:
Petal Pink:
Whisper White:
I also used the following stamps and dies:
Prized Peony stamp set: Large peony flower and stem stamp
Prized Peony stamp set: accent/texture stamp
Prized Peony stamp set: "My Thoughts are With You" sentiment stamp
Peony dies: Large peony flower and stem die
