Hello!
Sneak Peek from April's incredible upcoming release! It's filled with fabulous florals and awesome embellishments, which I have combined in today's card! Let's start off with the NEW "Pretty Peony" Stamp and Coordinating Die Set. This set features two beautifully drawn peony images and reverse sentiment prints with great everyday greetings!
I began this card by heat embossing the peony with clear powder after stamping it in black pigment ink. This makes the watercoloring so easy and the paint really puddles around the edges giving some intense pops! I die cut the image with the matching die and backed it with a blank die cut.
Using my palette knife, I applied pearl glitter paster through the Deco Stencil onto white card stock. After the panel was completely dry, I die cut the arched frame with the NEW "Concave Stitched Layered Rectangles". This new die set is going to become a quick favorite! I die cut two panels using the "Stitched Rectangle Set 1 Dies" - one in white and the other from kraft card stock. The white panel was adhered to a top-folding A2 card base. The kraft panel was spattered with black/white paint and glued to the center of the card front.
I slipped the peony into the die cut frame, backed everything with foam tape and pressed it onto the kraft panel. I added a twine bow to the flower stem and used the NEW Unicorn Pearls to finish the card! There is a rainbow of pearl embellishments in the new release and these fade from one color to another on each pearl!
Thanks so much for stopping by today and for taking the time to comment! Take care and stay safe!

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card. I like how the flower seems to be peeking out from the concave rectangles. The pearl glitter paste adds just the right amount of shimmer to your card. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to CAS.
