This Prized Peony Monochromatic Petal Pink Card is hot off the press! Just opened my order with this stamp set and paper in it and got to work, amid a few other interruptions!
The card base is Petal Pink to match the ink. It is actually lighter in color than in this photograph although the ink is fairly dark. Maybe I just have a juicy ink pad at the moment. I simply stamped the peony in the Prized Peony Stamp Set and the greeting in the same stamp set and cut down the cardstock a little to make it smaller. Then it was layered on a piece of Petal Pink Cardstock.
I looked through the pretty patterns of the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper and choose this one with a small Petal Pink floral print. It provides some interest and is good for the small amount of design that is actually going to show around the stamped peony.
I opted not to add any ribbon on the card wrapped around the peony piece, but after I had the card all made, of course, I couldn’t resist adding some of the new Elegant Faceted Gems. You can feel the facets on them. They are very pretty.
That’s how easy it is to make a monochromatic card with this stamp set, cardstock, and designer paper. You can also purchase the Prized Peony Bundle which includes the stamp set and Peony Dies and you save 10% on the price! Even if you purchase the entire Suite, you will still be getting the discounted price on the Bundle.
If I would have chosen to use the dies, I could have die cut this entire stamped flower and mounted it maybe with Stampin’ Dimensionals on the card to pop it up. This is going to be a beautiful stamp set to play with! If you order it or order the dies, look up some videos online of how to use the “pieces” of the flower to make it layered. You will wonder at first what on earth to do with the pieces that don’t look like anything, but they simply layer together to make something that looks like a 3D flower if you kind of shade the edges of the petals or pop them up with Dimensionals underneath or just have the pieces layered flat on the card which will still be impressive!
Start out with something easy like this Prized Peony Monochromatic Petal Pink Card. Just stamp the large peony in a colored ink or in black and then color in or sponge on some color. I think this stamp set will make beautiful cards with some basic simple stamping or you can make something extremely impressive to the recipient with easy steps for you to make it! Just play and have fun with this peony!
